NoteTaking_B1: Crsytal & Crystal Structure

CH1. CRYSTALS AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURES

keywords: axes, inter-axial angles (alpha for b and c, beta for c and a, and gamma for a and b)

1. Seven crystal systems

Cubic, Tetragonal, Orthorhombic, Monoclinic, Triclinic, Hexagonal, Trigonal(Rhombohedra).
Rhombohedra crystal is often more conveniently described in terms of hexagonal crystal.

PbTiO3, tetragonal---> cubic
BaTiO3,  rhombohedra ---> orthorhombic ---> tetragonal---> cubic
BiFeO3,  Rhombohderal (Hexagonal)

2.  Strukturbericht symbols for simple structure types


A1: cubic-close packed, face-centered cubic
Copper, Cu

A2: body-centered cubic
Tungsten, W

A3: hexagonal close-packed
(0,0,0), (1/3, 2/3, 1/2)
Magnesium, Mg

Halite: MX
Sodium chloride, NaCl

Rutile, MX2
titanium oxide, TiO2
Ti: 0, 0, 0; 0.5, 0.5, 0.5,
O: 0.3, 0.3, 0.0
      0.8, 0.2, 0.5
      0.7, 0.7, 0.0
      0.2, 0.8, 0.5












Fluorite, MX2
calcium fluroite, CaF2,
