Type II magnetic space groups, , are made up of all the symmetry operations of the crystallographic space group, , plus the product of those operations with time reversal operation, . Equivalently, this can be seen as the direct product of an ordinary space group with the point group 1 ′ {\\displaystyle 1'} .
General positions have a site symmetry of the trivial group and all correspond to the same Wyckoff position. Special positions have a non-trivial site symmetry group. For a particular space group, one can check the Wyckoff positions using International Tables of Crystallography. [6] The table presents the multiplicity, Wyckoff letter and site ...
The symmetry elements are ordered the same way as in the symbol of corresponding point group (the group that is obtained if one removes all translational components from the space group). The symbols for symmetry elements are more diverse, because in addition to rotations axes and mirror planes, space group may contain more complex symmetry ...
This article summarizes the classes of discrete symmetry groups of the Euclidean plane. The symmetry groups are named here by three naming schemes: International notation, orbifold notation, and Coxeter notation. There are three kinds of symmetry groups of the plane: 2 families of rosette groups – 2D point groups; 7 frieze groups – 2D line ...
In group theory, the symmetry group of a geometric object is the group of all transformations under which the object is invariant, endowed with the group operation of composition. Such a transformation is an invertible mapping of the ambient space which takes the object to itself, and which preserves all the relevant structure of the object.
A space group is called symmorphic (or split) if there is a point such that all symmetries are the product of a symmetry fixing this point and a translation. Equivalently, a space group is symmorphic if it is a semidirect product of its point group with its translation subgroup. There are 73 symmorphic space groups, with exactly one in each ...
Poincaré symmetry is the full symmetry of special relativity. It includes: translations (displacements) in time and space, forming the abelian Lie group of spacetime translations (P); rotations in space, forming the non-abelian Lie group of three-dimensional rotations (J); boosts, transformations connecting two uniformly moving bodies (K).
