  1.

  2. Point Groups and Space Groups: a detailed look • We have already considered an overview of point groups and space groups. • Here we have a more detailed look at various related aspects.

  3. The 32 Point Groups Highest symmetry class is in blue The possible combinations of crystallographic symmetry operators

  4. * The order for the highest symmetry point group for each crystal system is given. E.g. for cubic (4/m 3 2/m) point group has a order 48 → if we start with a general point then a total of 48 points is obtained

  5. Laue groups A centrosymmetric property imparts a (pseudo) centre of symmetry to a crystal . The crystal will seem to have a centre of symmetry with respect to that property even if is actually absent = + 2 i 2/m
