crystal latticeThree-dimensional configuration of points connected by lines used to describe the orderly arrangement of atoms in a crystal. Each point represents one or more atoms in the actual crystal. The lattice is divided into a number of identical blocks or cells that are repeated in all directions to form a geometric pattern. Lattices are classified according to their dominant symmetries: isometric, trigonal, hexagonal, tetragonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic, and triclinic. Compounds that exhibit a crystal-lattice structure include sodium chloride (table salt), cesium chloride, and boron nitride. See also solid-state physics. How to thank TFD for its existence?

From the nature of the reduced form, one can determine the reduced form number, Bravais lattice, and the transformation matrix to a standard conventional cell (or simply conventional cell). Determination of the Bravais Lattice and Conventional Cell The unit cell metric gives a good indication of the Bravais Lattice, and therefore should be known as precisely as possible. |
