1. Lecture 13 (11/1/2006) Crystallography Part 6: 3-D Internal Order & Symmetry Space (Bravais) Lattices Space Groups

2. Three-Dimensional Lattices Translation in three directions: x, y & z axes Translation distance: a along x b along y c along z A lattice point in 3D space corresponds to a vector (r), which is defined by three axial vector components: a, b, and c Angles between axes:  = cΛb  = cΛa = aΛb

3. 14 Types of Space Lattices (Bravais Lattices)

4. Unit Cell Types in Bravais Lattices P – Primitive; nodes at corners only C – Side-centered; nodes at corners and in center of one set of faces (usually C) F – Face-centered; nodes at corners and in center of all faces I – Body-centered; nodes at corners and in center of cell

6. Screw Axis Operations Right-handed – motif moves clockwise when screwed downward Left-handed – motif moves counter- clockwise when screwed downward Notation lists rotation axis type (#) and subscript which indicates number of 1/# turns to reach the 1 st right-handed position (circled in red)

7. 240 Space Groups Notation indicates lattice type (P,I,F,C) and Hermann-Maugin notation for basic symmetry operations (rotation and mirrors) Screw Axis notation as previously noted Glide Plane notation indicates the direction of glide – a, b, c, n (diagonal) or d (diamond) Triclinic Monoclinic Orthorhombic Tetragonal Hexagonal Isometric
