Symbols and properties of lattice complexes International Tables for Crystallography (2006). Vol. A, ch. 14.2, pp. 848-872 [ doi:10.1107/97809553602060000531 ] Abstract The reference symbols of lattice complexes are described and the terms `degrees of freedom' of a lattice complex, `limiting complex', `comprehensive complex' and `Weissenberg complex' are defined and illustrated by examples. Then the descriptive symbols of lattice complexes are introduced, their properties are described and their interpretation is demonstrated by numerous examples. Tables 14.2.3.1 and 14.2.3.2 give the explicit assignment of the Wyckoff positions of all plane groups and space groups, respectively, to Wyckoff sets and to lattice complexes. For each Wyckoff position, the reference symbol of the corresponding lattice complex is tabulated. In addition, a descriptive symbol is given that describes the arrangement of points in the corresponding point configurations. It refers directly to the coordinate description of the Wyckoff position. |
