Study Notes
Graphical Symbols for Symmetry Elements
- Symmetry elements include axes and planes with specific orientations relative to the projection plane.
- Axes can be normal, parallel, or inclined to the plane of projection.
- Symmetry planes can also align either normal or parallel to the plane of projection.
Rototranslational Symmetry Axes
- Rototranslational symmetry axes exhibit order 'n' and a translational component 't'.
- Only screw axes of orders 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 exist in crystals, each with valid translational components.
Axes of Inversion
- An inversion axis maintains space properties after performing a rotation combined with an inversion at a point on the axis.
- Common orders for inversion axes include 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6, with specific graphic symbols representing each.
Graphic Representation of Enantiomorphs
- Enantiomorphs are depicted using circles, where congruence is indicated by half-circles with a comma inside.
- The half-circles can be labeled with '+' or '-' signs to represent their properties.
Congruence and Isometric Transformations
- Two objects are congruent when corresponding points and distances between them are equal.
- Congruence may be direct or opposite, affecting how objects can be superimposed.
Types of Movements
- Movements for congruence include translation (equal displacement), rotation (around an axis), and rototranslation (combination of rotation and translation).
- Helicoidal trajectories illustrate the behavior of symmetry-related objects under certain screw axes.
Glide Planes and Translation Components
- Glide planes must adhere to periodicity, where applying the operation twice results in a translation equal to a lattice vector.
- Translations for glide planes include glides with axial components (a/2, b/2, c/2) and diagonal components.
Point Groups and Crystal Classes
- Point groups consist of symmetry operations without translations that leave a point fixed.
- Crystal classes group crystals sharing the same point group, though these terms are often used interchangeably.
Characteristics of Plane Lattices
- Five primary plane lattices include oblique, rectangular, square, and hexagonal types, each with unique parameters.
- Oblique lattices have an angle that is not 90 degrees, while rectangular, square, and hexagonal lattices have structured angles and relationships.
Space Lattices
- Space lattices correspond to specific types of cells, each with distinct features.
- Centred face configurations of cells must adhere to defined types, explaining the limited variety within the lattice classification.
Summary of Key Features in Tables
- Tables illustrate properties of plane lattices such as cell types, point groups, and lattice parameters, providing a concise reference for classification and symmetry operations.
