Point groups describe symmetry of finite objects (at least one point invariant) Point groups Set of symmetry operations: rotations and rotoinversions (or proper and improper rotations) mirror = 2-fold rotation + inversion Combination of two symmetry operations gives another operation of the point group (principle of group theory)

Left space group space group symbols
Space groups Space groups describe symmetry of infinite objects (3-D lattices, crystals) Combination of point group symmetry with translations - Bravais lattices - translational symmetry elements
Bravais lattices but the symmetry of the crystal is defined by its content, not by the lattice metric
Selection of unit cell - smallest - simplest - highest symmetry Choice of cell

Left origin origin position vs. symmetry elements
Left asymmetric unit definition of asymmetric unit (not unique) Va.u. = Vcell/N rotation axes cannot pass through the asymm. unit
Left positions diagram diagram of equivalent positions
Right positions equivalent positions these are fractional positions (fractions of unit cell dimensions)
