1 Symmetry of position: periodic order
Lattice : Set of points (nodes): Ruvw = u a +v b + w c (a, b, c) basis, (u, v, w) integers. a b c g Unit cell : Volume with no gaps or overlaps, gal parallelepipedic (a,b,c) Primitive (one node), multiple (symmetry) : elementary (unit cell) Conventionnal unit cells : P : Primitive F : Face-centred I : Body-centred A,B,C : Base-centred

2 Point symmetry of lattices
Only 1-, 2-, 3- 4-, 6-fold symmetries are compatible with periodicity Every symmetry axe An is normal to a lattice plane Symmetry of this plane An BB’ lattice vector BB’=T-2Tcosa =mT cosa =p/2 An A2 A’2 T T a=p a=p a=2p /n B B’ An(T) A-n(-T) a -a An T A’n
