The seven lattice systems and their Bravais lattices in three dimensions. In geometry and crystallography, a Bravais lattice, named after Auguste Bravais (), [1] is an infinite array of discrete points generated by a set of discrete translation operations described in three dimensional space by
The degree of translation is then added as a subscript showing how far along the axis the translation is, as a portion of the parallel lattice vector. For example, 2 1 is a 180° (twofold) rotation followed by a translation of 1 / 2 of the lattice vector. 3 1 is a 120° (threefold) rotation followed by a translation of 1 / 3 of ...
The Bravais lattice of the space group is determined by the lattice system together with the initial letter of its name, which for the non-rhombohedral groups is P, I, F, A or C, standing for the principal, body centered, face centered, A-face centered or C-face centered lattices. There are seven rhombohedral space groups, with initial letter R.
The rectangular lattice and rhombic lattice (or centered rectangular lattice) constitute two of the five two-dimensional Bravais lattice types. [1] The symmetry categories of these lattices are wallpaper groups pmm and cmm respectively. The conventional translation vectors of the rectangular lattices form an angle of 90° and are of unequal ...
English: Honeycomb lattice is not a Bravais lattice, but can be considered a hexagonal Bravais lattice with a two-atom basis (atoms A and B). Vectors a₁ and a₂ are primitive translation vectors. Vectors a₁ and a₂ are primitive translation vectors.
The oblique lattice is one of the five two-dimensional Bravais lattice types. [1] The symmetry category of the lattice is wallpaper group p2. The primitive translation vectors of the oblique lattice form an angle other than 90° and are of unequal lengths.
The letters A, B and C were formerly used instead of S. When the centred face cuts the X axis, the Bravais lattice is called A-centred. In analogy, when the centred face cuts the Y or Z axis, we have B- or C-centring respectively. [5] The fourteen possible Bravais lattices are identified by the first two letters:
