1. Fundamental notions of crystallography

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Crystal structure: The arrangement of atoms or molecules within a crystal, characterized by a motif (group of atoms) and a lattice (periodic array of points). (source content)

  • Symmetry: The invariance of a crystal structure under certain operations, such as rotation or reflection, which define the crystal's symmetry elements. (implied from the study of symmetry and crystal systems)

  • Lattice parameters: The dimensions and angles defining the unit cell of a crystal, including lengths (a, b, c) and angles (α, β, γ). (from descriptions of unit cell and crystal systems)

  • Motif: A group of atoms or molecules associated with each lattice point, which, combined with the lattice, forms the crystal structure. (source content)

  • Bravais lattice: The 14 distinct three-dimensional periodic arrangements of points that describe all possible lattice types in crystals. (source content)
