2D Symmetry (1.5 weeks)
Start with the translation Add a rotation lattice point lattice point lattice point A translation vector connecting twolattice points! It must be some integer of or we contradicted the basic Assumption of our construction. T: scalar p: integer Therefore, is not arbitrary! The basic constrain has to be met!

Look at the case of p = 2 n = 3; 3-fold angle = 120o 3-fold lattice. Look at the case of p = 1 n = 4; 4-fold = 90o 4-fold lattice.
Look at the case of p = 0 n = 6; 6-fold = 60o Exactly the same as 3-fold lattice. Look at the case of p = 3 n = 2; 2-fold Look at the case of p = -1 n = 1; 1-fold 1 2

Group theory: set of elements (things) for a law of combination is defined and satisfies 3 postulates. (1) the combination of any two elements is also a member of the group; (2) “Identity” (doing nothing) is also a member of the group. “I” aI=Ia=a (a : an element) (3) for element, an inverse exists. a; a-1 a . a-1 = Ia-1. a = I http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_(mathematics) Example: Group {1, -1}; rank 2 rank (order) of the group = number of elements contained in a set. 1 -1 Another Example: Group {1, -1, i, -i}; rank 4 1 1 -1 -1 -1 1 We will show examples for point groups later!
In a point, there is no translation symmetry! Therefore, consider 2D point group, we only consider rotation and mirror! Put rotation symmetry and mirror together ? m [] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] n 1 2 3 4 6
