Three-Dimensional Lattices • Translation in three directions: x, y & z axes • Translation distance: • a along x • b along y • c along z • A lattice point in 3D space corresponds to a vector (r), which is defined by three axial vector components: a, b, and c • Angles between axes: • = cΛb • = cΛa g = aΛb
Unit Cell Types in Bravais Lattices P – Primitive; nodes at corners only C – Side-centered; nodes at corners and in center of one set of faces (usually C) F – Face-centered; nodes at corners and in center of all faces I – Body-centered; nodes at corners and in center of cell

Screw Axis Operations Right-handed – motif moves clockwise when screwed downward Left-handed – motif moves counter-clockwise when screwed downward Notation lists rotation axis type (#) and subscript which indicates number of 1/# turns to reach the 1st right-handed position (circled in red)
240 Space Groups Triclinic Monoclinic Orthorhombic Tetragonal Hexagonal Isometric Notation indicates lattice type (P,I,F,C) and Hermann-Maugin notation for basic symmetry operations (rotation and mirrors) Screw Axis notation as previously noted Glide Plane notation indicates the direction of glide – a, b, c, n (diagonal) or d (diamond)
