52. 7 Crystal Systems
Cubic a = b = c α = β = γ = 90
Tetragonal a = b ≠ c α = β = γ = 90
Orthorhombic a ≠ b ≠ c α = β = γ = 90
Monoclinic a ≠ b ≠ c α = γ = 90 β > 90
Triclinic a ≠ b ≠ c α ≠ β ≠ γ
Hexagonal a = b ≠ c α = β = 90 γ = 120
Trigonal a = b ≠ c α = β = 90 γ =
120
63. 32 Point Groups
Apply inversion, reflection and rotation
to a single point to derive 32 point
groups.
64. Inversion Symmetry Operation
Symmetry Operation Inversion
Relates pairs of points which are equidistant from and on
opposite sides of a central point
Central point is inversion center
Symbol bar 1
66. Reflection Symmetry Operation
Any point on one side of the mirror plane is matched by a
point on the other side of the mirror place at the same
distance from the point
Symbol m or line

93. X-ray diffraction of crystals
The size of an X-ray wave is about the size of the spacing between atoms in a
crystal therefore the X-ray wave should be diffracted by the crystal.
And.
The positions of the atoms in the crystal can be determined from the diffraction
pattern of the X-ray wave.
X-ray generated by electrons outside the nucleus
Gamma ray generated from the nucleus
