    The document discusses crystal structures and lattices. It defines key terms like lattice, basis, primitive cell, primitive vectors, packing fraction, and lists some examples of crystal structures like zincblende and their unit cells. It also discusses different types of crystal lattices like cubic, hexagonal, triclinic and their symmetry properties.

    Crystal lattice
    • Periodic = repeat
    • Identical and equivalent points
    • Lattice = a symmetric array of points in space
    • Basis = one or group of atoms in each lattice point
    • Primitive cell = The smallest cell or volume which is
    repeated throughout the crystal
    • Primitive vectors = The primitive cell is translated by
    integral multiples of the smallest unit of vectors that
    is called primitive vectors. They are represented by
    A two- dimensional lattice showing translation of a unit
    cell by r = 3a + 2b. a, b, c
    • Points with in the lattice are indistinguishable if the
    vector between the points is : r = pa + qb + sc where
    p, q, and s are integers
