Lecture 1 Microstructure of Crystals and Bravais lattices
Microstructure of crystals
Definition
Basis: a fundamental repeat unit
Lattice: a statement of the translations, it is made up of a series of lattice points
Lattice point: the unit of equivalent points, it is a geometric point with no volume ( do not need to be at the center of an atom)
Basis + Lattive = crystalline structure
注意,basis和lattice都不是唯一的,但是两个之间有一定的关系(不一定是一一对应的)
How to Find the Lattice
1、任意找一个点
2、找到全部与这个点相同的等价点(即所有与选取点有相同的周围的结构的点)
Bravais Lattices
Definition
bravais lattices:
定义1:A Bravis lattice is an infinite array of dicrete points with an arrangement and orientation that appears exact
