Metrical conditions: a = b; c arbitrary; α = β = 90°; γ = 120°

Bravais lattice types: hP, hR

Symmetry of lattice points: 6/mmm (hP), [\bar3m ] (hR)

Simplified formulae: [V=({\bf abc}) =\left [\left| \matrix{a^{2} &-{1\over2} a^{2} &0 \cr -{1\over2}a^{2} &a^2 &0 \cr 0&0&c^2} \right| \right]^{1/2} =\textstyle{1\over2}{\sqrt3} \,\, a^2c, \eqno (1.1.1.1e)] [\left. \eqalign{ a^*&=b^*={\textstyle{2\over3}}\sqrt3 {1\over a}, \quad c^*={1\over c}, \cr \alpha^*&=\beta^*=90^\circ, \quad \gamma^*=60^\circ,} \right\} \eqno (1.1.1.3e)] [\eqalignno{\qquad V^*& =({\bf a}^*{\bf b}^*{\bf c}^*)=\left[\left| \matrix{ a^{*2}&{1\over2}a^{*2}&0 \cr {1\over2}a^{*2}&a^{*2}&0 \cr 0&0&c^{*2}}\right|\right]^{1/2} \cr &=\textstyle{1\over2}\sqrt3\; a^{*2}c^*={2\over3}\sqrt3\; a^{-2}c^{-1}, &(1.1.1.4e)}] [a=b={\textstyle{2\over3}}\sqrt3{1\over a^*}, \quad c={1\over c^*}, \quad \alpha=\beta=90^\circ, \quad \gamma=120^\circ, \eqno (1.1.1.7e)] [t^2=(u^2+v^2-uv)a^2+w^2c^2, \eqno (1.1.2.1e)] [r^{*2}=(h^2+k^2+hk)a^{*2}+l ^2c^{*2}=sa^{*2}+l^2c^{*2} \eqno (1.1.2.2e)]with [s=h^2+k^2+hk.]For each value of [s\le100], all corresponding pairs h, k are listed in Table 1.2.5.1[link].

Table 1.2.5.1| top | pdf |
Assignment of integers [s\le100] to pairs h, k with [s=h^2+k^2+hk]

Each pair h, k represents in addition the pairs k, −hk and −hk, h, the permutations of these three, and the six corresponding centrosymmetrical pairs.
