Bravais Lattices and Crystal Classes Bravais lattices: primitive cubic, body-centered cubic, face-centered cubic Crystal classes: 36 cubic space groups, isometric crystal system, hexoctahedral, crystallographic point group notation Single Element Structures...
Crystallographic point group
Introduction to Crystallographic Point Groups A crystallographic point group is a set of symmetry operations in crystallography. These operations leave the structure of a crystal unchanged. There are 32 crystallographic...
Crystallographic defects in diamond
Labeling and Symmetry of Diamond Defects Diamond spectroscopy tradition uses numbered acronyms to label defect-induced spectra Some acronyms are confusing due to similarities Same labels given to different centers detected...
Crystallographic defect
Point Defects Point defects occur at or around a single lattice point They are not extended in space Point defects typically involve a few extra or missing atoms Larger defects...
Crystallization
Crystallization Process and Factors Affecting Crystallization Crystallization is the process by which solid forms, organized into a crystal structure. Crystals can form through precipitation from a solution, freezing, or deposition...
Crystallite
Crystallite Structure Crystallites can have random or directed orientation. Amorphous materials lack structure. Polycrystalline materials are composed of multiple crystallites. Most inorganic solids are polycrystalline. Grain boundaries are the areas...
Crystal system
Crystal Systems The diamond crystal structure belongs to the face-centered cubic lattice. Crystal systems are sets of point groups and lattice systems. Crystal systems are classified into seven categories: triclinic,...
