Crystallography Flashcards
a periodic repetition of nodes in a systematic linear displacement
Translation
specific length and direction of systematic displacement by which pattern repeats
Unit of translation vector
Defined by two-unit translation vector
Two dimensional translation
Two dimensional array of pattern nodes generated by two-dimension translation
Plane lattice
a three dimensional array pattern of nodes generated by the two dimensional translation
Space lattice
resulting array of motif of the crystalline substance
Crystal lattice
It is how the substance arranged in a 3d form
Crystal lattice
An imaginary line or axis where a pattern of nodes rotate around
Axis of rotation
A form of symmetry in which the pattern is repeated by reflection through a mirror plane
REFLECTION
an imaginary line or axis where a pattern of nodes rotate around
Mirror plane
repetition of motifs by inverting them through a center called center of inversion
Inversion
Point where the “image” of motif is inverted
Center of inversion
combination of translation with reflection across a mirror plane producing a glide plane
Glide reflection
imaginary plane where nodes glide into
Glide plane
combination of translation with reflection across a mirror plane producing a glide plane
Rotoinversion
