Superspace Group Finderhelp
3D derivatives of (3+1)D space groups in analytical form
  • Displays real-space sections of superspace groups
  • Finds parental (3+1)D superspace group for a set of 3D groups
  • Of special use for phase transitions and modular structures
Browse (3+1)D groups...

3+1D to 3D group transformation for commensurate modulation

Modulation vector q=(D1/N1, D2/N2, D3/N3), or D/N if there is only one non-zero component.
3D derivatives inherit basis of parental (3+1)D group.
To obtain specific group orientation and symbol a basis transformation might be necessary.

 

Constraints of t level. Variable n stands for any integer.

Constraints of Q-vector components

...or search for 3D group set

Type desired 3D space groups separated by space.
