International Tables for Crystallography
| Basic concepts International Tables for Crystallography (2006). Vol. A, ch. 8.1, pp. 720-725 [ doi:10.1107/97809553602060000514 ] Abstract Part 8 provides the theoretical background to the data in the tables and diagrams of Volume A. In Chapter 8.1, the basic concepts are treated, such as point and vector spaces; motions (isometries) and their description by matrices and augmented matrices; crystal patterns (as mathematical models of ideal crystals) with their point and vector lattices; crystallographic symmetry operations and symmetry groups as well as space groups (as symmetry groups of crystal patterns), point groups (as symmetry groups of macroscopic crystals) and their relations. |
