Bragg’s Law Fundamental statement of the way waves scatter off of planes of scatterers nl = 2dsinq Rearranging, (1/2d) = (1/n)sinq/l We can formulate this so that the n disappears, so that (1/2d) = sinq/l

The crystallographer’s world view Reality can be more complex!
Molecules pack together in a regular pattern to form a crystal. There are two aspects to this pattern: Periodicity Symmetry First consider the periodicity…
To describe the periodicity, we superimpose (mentally) on the crystal structure a lattice. A lattice is a regular array of geometrical points, each of which has the same environment (they are all equivalent).
A unit cell of a lattice (or crystal) is a volume which can describe the lattice using only translations. In 3 dimensions (for crystallographers), this volume is a parallelepiped. Such a volume can be defined by six numbers – the lengths of the three sides, and the angles between them – or three basis vectors.
Descriptions of the Unit Cell a, b, c, , , a, b, cx1a + x2b + x3c, 0 xn< 1lattice points = ha + kb + lc, hkl integersdomain of influence – Dirichlet domain, Voronoi domain, Wigner-Seitz cell, Brillouin zone
The Reduced Cell • 3 shortest non-coplanar translations • Main Conditions (shortest vectors) • Special Conditions (unique) • May not exhibit the true symmetry
Point Symmetry Elements • A point symmetry operation does not alter at least one point upon which it operates • Rotation axes • Mirror planes • Rotation-inversion axes (rotation-reflection) • Center Screw axes and glide planes are not point symmetry elements!
Symmetry Operations • A proper symmetry operation does not invert the handedness of a chiral object • Rotation • Screw axis • Translation • An improper symmetry operation inverts the handedness of a chiral object • Reflection • Inversion • Glide plane • Rotation-inversion
Not all combinations of symmetry elements are possible. In addition, some point symmetry elements are not possible if there is to be translational symmetry as well. There are only 32 crystallographic point groups consistent with periodicity in three dimensions.
