Mystery of the missing entries in the Bravais List! Few illustrations • Another point of view:There are 7 crystal systemsEach of them “can have” P, I, F, C type lattice (4 types)Hence the “potential” number is (7 4) = 28But 14 of these are only distinct Points to note: • Every lattice that you can construct is present somewhere in the list the issue is where to put them • Concept of choice of unit cell is also invoked along with the classification of Bravais lattices • The factors which are taken to into account are (like for the unit cell): Symmetry Size
What we choose Mystery of the missing entries in the Bravais List! But then Cubic crystals need not have any 4-fold axes!!(cubic lattices do need to have!) Hence Cannot be called Cubic Hence even though this lattice remains as it is it is called Simple Tetragonal(which is smaller in size)
What we choose Mystery of the missing entries in the Bravais List! Smaller sized Body Centred Cell is chosen FCT = BCT Face Centred Tetragonal = Body Centred Tetragonal
What we choose Mystery of the missing entries in the Bravais List! Smaller sized Simple Cell is chosen CCT = ST C Centred Tetragonal = Simple Tetragonal
Mystery of the missing entries in the Bravais List! Putting a lattice point at body centre destroys the 6-fold axis Hence body centred hexagonal lattice NOT possible
Mystery of the missing entries in the Bravais List! Putting a lattice point at body centre destroys the 6-fold axis
Mystery of the missing entries in the Bravais List! Putting a lattice point at body centre destroys the 6-fold axis
& what we don’t Mystery of the missing entries in the Bravais List! Cubic F Tetragonal I(not chosen) As the FCC lattice has higher symmetry than the BCT cell(the one with higher symmetry is chosen)
Some example of the allowed and disallowed transfers • Crystal system Bravais lattices • Cubic P I F C • Tetragonal P I F • Orthorhombic P I F C • Hexagonal P • Trigonal P • Monoclinic P C • Triclinic P x Slide Courtesy Dr. Rajesh Prasad
