Figure 5.1.3.9

Rhombohedral lattice with a triple hexagonal unit cell a, b, c in obverse setting (i.e. unit cell a1, b1, c in Fig. 5.1.3.6[link]c) and the three centred monoclinic cells. (a) C-centred cells [C_{1}] with [a_{1}, b_{1}, c]; [C_{2}] with [a_{2}, b_{2}, c]; and [C_{3}] with [a_{3}, b_{3}, c]. The unique monoclinic axes are [b_{1}, b_{2}] and [b_{3}], respectively. Origin for all four cells is the same. (b) A-centred cells [A_{1}] with [a', b_{1}, c_{1}]; [A_{2}] with [a', b_{2}, c_{2}]; and [A_{3}] with [a', b_{3}, c_{3}]. The unique monoclinic axes are [c_{1}], [c_{2}] and [c_{3}], respectively. Origin for all four cells is the same.
