Slt crystls N Cl http://helthfreedoms.org/2009/05/24/tble-slt-vs-unrefined-se-slt--primer/ Shpes of crystls cn give us clue bout tomic rrngement 170
Wht is crystl? Solids where toms re rrnged in periodic (i.e., repeting, symmetric, etc.) ptterns. Wht is symmetry? Describes how pttern repets within crystl. 171
Crystl Structure = Lttice + Motif [Bsis] From website: http://www.metfysic.nl/turing/promorph_crystls_preprtion_3.html A lttice must be symmetric! Motifs must be rrnged symmetriclly! 172
One-Dimensionl Lttice T = 3 Lttice symmetry implies tht ech lttice point must hve identicl surroundings (i.e., the sme environment ). In given direction, ll lttice points must be seprted by n identicl distnce, (this bsis vector is lttice prmeter). In 1D lttice, trnsltion of n from one lttice point to nother, where n is n integer, brings you to n identicl lttice point. T = n 173
Two-Dimensionl Lttice y x b T = 1+2b b There re two non-colliner bsis vectors ( nd b). A trnsltion of n + pb from one lttice point to nother must bring you to n equivlent lttice point. The interxil ngle defines the reltionship between the two bsis vectors. T = n + pb 174
Three-Dimensionl Lttice There re 3 non-colliner bsis vectors nd 3 interxil ngles. All points cn be defined by series of vectors: T = n + pb + qc c origin b 175
Three-Dimensionl Lttice cont d The Bsis vectors define the shpe of the crystl. The smllest repeting unit formed by combining the bsis vectors is clled unit cell. c origin b A unit cell retins ll chrcteristics of the lttice. 176
Lttice Prmeters The bsis vectors re not necessrily orthogonl. c b Axis b c Inter-xil ngle 177
Unit Cell Shpes Unit cells in crystls hve specific shpes. We cll the shpes crystl systems [*]. They re bsed upon: 1. Highest symmetry 2. Consistency with pst convention 3. Minimized unit cell volume 4. Stisfction of miniml symmetry requirements. All crystl structures evolve from crystl systems. [*] A set of reference xes used to define the geometry of crystl nd crystl structures 178
Crystl Systems In 2D there re only four (4). 1. Oblique 2. Rectngulr 3. Hexgonl 4. Squre In 3D there re only seven (7). 1. Triclinic (northic) 2. Monoclinic 3. Hexgonl 4. Rhombohedrl (trigonl) 5. Orthorhombic 6. Tetrgonl 7. Cubic The crystl systems re the only possible shpes for unit cells With these shpes, you cn fill ll vilble spce nd leve no voids! 179

Keep in mind Crystl shpe revels the underlying symmetry of crystl. Must plce lttice points on shpe to build up symmetric lttice. All lttice points must be identicl 183
Wht defines lttices nd unit cells? Symmetry limits the number of possibilities. Crystl lttices must exhibit specific miniml mount of symmetry. Ech crystl system hs certin symmetry (lttice points hve specific rrngements). 184
Symmetry Opertors Motions tht llow pttern to be trnsformed from n initil position to finl position such tht the initil nd finl ptterns re indistinguishble. 1. Trnsltion 2. Reflection 3. Rottion 4. Inversion (center of symmetry) 5. Roto-inversion (inversion xis) 6. Roto-reflection 7. Glide (trnsltion + reflection) 8. Screw (rottion + trnsltion) 185

Crystl System + Symmetric Arry of Lttice Points = Brvis Lttice We cn clssify Brvis lttices in terms of the number of lttice points in the unit cell 187
2D/3D Types of Lttices Primitive (P) One lttice point per unit cell Termed simple or primitive Non-primitive (multiple) More thn one lttice point per unit cell. Termed XXX-centered XXX = body, fce, or bse 188

Primitive vs. Non-primitive lttices There re 4 crystl systems in 2D. Thus we cn define 4 primitive lttices in 2D. 4 primitive Brvis nets (k. lttices ) Are there more? There re 7 crystl systems in 3D. Thus we cn define 7 primitive lttices in 3D. 7 primitive Brvis lttices Are there more? OF COURSE! OF COURSE! Cn we dd dditionl lttice points to primitive lttice nd still hve lttice with the sme shpe? 191
Primitive vs. Non-primitive lttices Answer: YES, if we mintin symmetry. ( All lttice points must be equivlent.) b 13 90 12 12 2D rectngulr lttices 12 IMPOSSIBLE Internl point is not symmetric or equivlent to corners POSSIBLE Internl point is symmetric nd equivlent to corners 192
b 90 12 12 Mirror imges of primitive lttice Wht if we define primitive oblique lttice (shded) rther thn centered rectngle? The primitive cell is less symmetric thn the centered rectngle. For exmple, mirror imge of the primitive unit cell is not identicl to the originl. A mirror imge of the rectngulr cell with lttice point in the center IS identicl to the originl. It hs higher symmetry! 193

Generl things bout lttices RECALL: You cn lwys define primitive lttice/unit cell. HOWEVER, If non-primitive cell cn be found tht lso describes symmetry of the lttice, it should be used insted. Since ll lttice points must be identicl, new lttice points cn only be plced on positions centered between primitive lttice points. Don t confuse lttice points with toms 196
Now you know how to define crystl in terms of symmetry opertions. Next we shll ddress reltionships between crystl plnes nd directions. Miller indices Stereogrphic projections Reciprocl spce 197
