1 Fundamentals. Crystal patterns and crystal structures. Lattices, their symmetry and related basic concepts Didactic material for the MaThCryst schools, France
2 Ideal vs. real crystal, perfect vs. imperfect crystal Ideal crystal: Perfect periodicity, no static (vacancies, dislocations, chemical heterogeneities, even the surface!) or dynamic (phonons) defects. Real crystal: A crystal whose structure differs from that of an ideal crystal for the presence of static or dynamic defects. Perfect crystal: A real crystal whose structure contains only equilibrium defects. Imperfect crystal: A real crystal whose structure contains also non-equilibrium defects (dislocations, chemical heterogeneities...). What follows describes the structure of an ideal crystals (something that does not exist!), whereas a real crystal is rarely in thermodynamic equilibrium.
3 What do you get from a (conventional) diffraction experiment? Time and space averaged structure! Time-averaged because the time span of a diffraction experiment is much larger that the time of an atomic vibration. The instantaneous position of an atom is replaced by the envelop (most often an ellipsoid) that describes the volume spanned by the atom during its vibration. Space-averaged because a conventional diffraction experiment gives the average of the atomic position in the whole crystal volume, which corresponds to the position of the atom only if perfect periodicity is respected. Importance of studying the ideal crystal Non-conventional experiments (time-resolved crystallography, nanocrystallography etc.) allow to go beyond the ideal crystal model, but also some information that are often neglected in a conventional experiment (diffuse scattering) can give precious insights on the real structure of the crystal under investigation.
4 Space and time-averaged structure
5 Transformations Affine transformation Euclidean transformation or isometry Symmetry operation
6 Symmetry operations of a crystal pattern A crystal pattern is an idealized crystal structure which makes abstraction of the defects (including the surface!) and of the atomic nature of the structure. A crystal pattern is therefore infinite and perfect. A crystal pattern has both translational symmetry and point symmetry; these are described by its space group. We have to define the concepts of group and its declinations in crystallography.
7 Crystal structure/pattern vs. crystal lattice Crystal Molecule or coordination polyhedron Crystal pattern (crystal structure) Unit cell Lattice nodes Translations
8 The minimal unit you need to describe a crystal pattern Asymmetric unit* fi Unit cell *In mathematics, it is called fundamental region
9 The concepts of chirality and handedness (the left-right difference) Symmetry operations are classified into first kind (keep the handedness) and second kind (change the handedness). If the object on which the operation is applied is non-chiral, the effect of the operation on the handedness is not visible but the nature of the operation (first or second kind) is not affected! The determinant of the matrix representation of a symmetry operation is +1 (first kind) or -1 (second kind)
10 Global vs. local domain of action Real numbers Summation, substraction, multiplication: global operations (can be applied to any pair of numbers) Division: local operation (cannot applied to 0 as divisor). Crystallography Substructure 2 Substructure 1 i,00 i,10 Structure Substructure 0 Substructure 3 Substructure 4 pp local operations, qp partial operations Global (total) operations:those that can be applied to the whole structure
11 Binary operations acting on a set A binary operation An internal law of composition S S S (closure property) A set S We've got a magma Note: An external law of composition acts on two disjoint sets S S' S S S'
12 Possible properties associated to a magma Associativity: a (b c) = (a b) c Presence of identity (neutral element): left identity e a = a right identity a e = a Presence of singular element: left singular s a = s right singular a s = s Presence of the inverse (symmetric) element of each element: left inverse: a -1 a = e right inverse: a a -1 = e Commutativity: a b = b a Presence of a second binary operation: a S b S = c S
13 Algebraic structures globality associativity identity element inverse element Magma Quasigroup Semigroup Loop Monoid Group Semicategory Category Groupoid
14 The notion of symmetry group A symmetry group (G, ) is a set G whose elements are symmetry operations having the following features: the combination (successive application) of two symmetry operations g i and g j of the set G is still a symmetry operation g k of the set G (closure property): g i G g j G g k G (g i g j = g k ) the binary operation is associative: g i (g j g k ) = (g i g j )g k the set G includes the identity (left and right identical): eg i = g i e for each element of the set G (each symmetry operation) the inverse element (inverse symmetry operation) is in the set G: g i -1 g i = g i g i -1 = e In the following we will normally speak of a group G: it is a shortened expression for group (G, ) where is the successive application of symmetry operations g G. Rigorously speaking, G is not a group but just a set!
15 Abelian and cyclic groups Commutativity is NOT included in the group properties (closure, associativity, presence of identity and of the inverse of each element). A group which includes the commutativity property is called Abelian. A special case of Abelian groups: cyclic groups A cyclic group is a special Abelian group in which all elements of the group are generated from a single element (the generator). G = {g, g 2, g 3,., g n = e}
16 The notion of order Order of a group element: the smallest n such that g n = e. If n = 2, then g -1 = g and the element is known as an involution. Order of a group: the number of elements of the group (finite or infinite) If n = the group is infinite
17 A note about nomenclature The elements of the group (G, ) are operations The operations are performed about geometric elements A geometric element together with the set of symmetry operations performed about it is called a symmetry element

Reduced cell 1. basis vectors form a right-handed reference (applies in 3D space); 2. basis vectores correspond to the shortest lattice translation vectors; 3. the angles between pairs of basis vectors are either all acute (type I reduced cell) or non-acute (type II reduced cell).

24 Symmetry in E 2 Operations that leave invariant all the space (2D): the identity Operations that leave invariant one direction of the space (1D): reflections Operations that leave invariant one point of the space (0D): rotations Operations that do not leave invariant any point of the space: translations The subspace left invariant (if any) by the symmetry operation has dimensions from 0 to N (= 2 here) Two independent directions in E 2 two axes (a, b) and one interaxial angle ()

44 Now let's put something IN our unit cell!
45 The concept of holohedry Lattice «Object» (content of the unit cell) Pattern Symmetry of the lattice : S L = 4mm Symmetry of the object : S o = 4mm Symmetry of the pattern : S p = 4mm S p = S L : holohedry

47 The concept of merohedry Symmetry of the lattice: S L = 4mm Symmetry of the object: S o = 3m Symmetry of the pattern : S p = 1 = 4mm 3m S P < S L : merohedry
48 The concept of merohedry The crystallographic restriction (n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6) applies to the lattice and to the pattern, but not to the content of the unit cell! Symmetry of the lattice : S L = 4mm Symmetry of the object : S o = 5m Symmetry of the pattern : S p = m = 4mm 5m S p < S L : merohedry
49 The notion of subgroup
