  • Glide and Screw
    Space Groups •The 32 crystallographic point groups, whose operation have at least one point unchanged, are sufficient for the description of finite, macroscopic objects. •However since ideal crystals extend indefinitely in all directions, we must also include translations (the Bravais lattices) in our description of symmetry. Space groups: formed when combining a point symmetry group with a set of lattice translation vectors (the Bravais lattices), i.e. self-consistent set of symmetry operations acting on a Bravais lattice. (Space group lattice types and translations have no meaning in point group symmetry.) Space group numbers for all the crystal structures we have discussed this semester, and then some, are listed in DeGraef and Rohrer books and pdf. document on structures and AFLOW website, e.g. ZnS (zincblende) belongs to SG # 216: F43m) Class21/1 Screw Axes •The combination of point group symmetries and translations also leads to two additional operators known as glide and screw. •The screw operation is a combination of a rotation and a translation parallel to the rotation axis. •As for simple rotations, only diad, triad, tetrad and hexad axes, that are consistent with Bravais lattice translation vectors can be used for a screw operator. •In addition, the translation on each rotation must be a rational fraction of the entire translation. •There is no combination of rotations or translations that can transform the pattern produced by 31 to the pattern of 32 , and 41 to the pattern of 43, etc. •Thus, the screw operation results in handedness Class21/2 or chirality (can’t superimpose image on another, e.g., mirror image) to the pattern.

We start with a primitive lattice, having points at rabcuvw uvw, where uvw,, ¢ . So lattice points exist at (0,0,0) and all equivalent positions. If we have a lattice point at xyz,, , then we also have a lattice point at xuyvzw,, . Suppose two lattice points exist at xyz111,, and xyz222,, . If xyz,, is a lattice point, then xyz,, x212121 x , y y , z z is also a lattice point. But this does not imply that for all xyz,, representing lattice points, the values of xyz,, are integers. In particular, it is often useful to represent some of them by half integers. A primitive cell has lattice points at 0,0,0 . Centered cells have additional lattice points. 11 An A-centered cell also has points at 0,22 , . (Center of the A face.) 11 A B-centered cell also has points at 22,0, .

Grenier1 and R. Ballou2 1SPSMS, UMR-E 9001, CEA-INAC / UJF-Grenoble, MDN, 38054 Grenoble, France 2Institut Néel, CNRS / UJF, 25 rue des Martyrs, BP. 166, 38042 Grenoble Cedex 9, France Abstract. This lecture is aimed at giving a sufficient background on crystallography, as a reminder to ease the reading of the forthcoming chapters. It more precisely recalls the crystallographic restrictions on the space isometries, enumerates the point groups and the crystal lattices consistent with these, examines the structure of the space group, which gathers all the spatial invariances of a crystal, and describes a few dual notions. It next attempts to familiarize us with the representation analysis of physical states and excitations of crystals. 1. INTRODUCTION Crystallography covers a wide spectrum of investigations: i- it aspires to get an insight into crystallization phenomena and develops methods of crystal growths, which generally pertains to the physics of non linear irreversible processes; ii- it geometrically describes the natural shapes and the internal structures of the crystals, which is carried out most conveniently by borrowing mathematical tools from group theory; iii- it investigates the crystallized matter at the atomic scale by means of diffraction techniques using X-rays, electrons or neutrons, which are interpreted in the dual context of the reciprocal space and transposition therein of the crystal symmetries; iv- it analyzes the imperfections of the crystals, often directly visualized in scanning electron, tunneling or force microscopies, which in some instances find a meaning by handling unfamiliar concepts from homotopy theory; v- it aims at providing means for discerning the influences of the crystal structure on the physical properties of the materials, which requires to make use of mathematical methods from representation theory.

Nantes has progressively gained a reputation in the science of gemmology since Prof. Bernard Lasnier created the Diplôme d’Université de Gemmologie (DUG) in the early 1980s. Several DUGs or PhDs have since made a name for themselves in international gemmology. In addition, the town of Nantes has been on several occasions recognized as a very attractive, green town, with a high quality of life. This regional capital is also an important hub for the industry (e.g. agriculture, aeronautics), education and high-tech. It has only recently developed tourism even if has much to offer, with its historical downtown, the beginning of the Loire river estuary, and the ocean close by.

  • Properties of Minerals for Processing
    2 C h a p t e r Properties of Minerals for Processing 2.1 SAMPLING Sampling is a process of obtaining a small portion from a large quantity of a similar material such that, it truly represents the composition of the whole lot. It is an important step before testing of any material in the laboratory. Sampling of homogeneous materials is easy as compared to heterogeneous materials and hence, has to be conducted carefully. It is so because unlike heterogeneous materials, homogeneous materials have a uniform composition. However, almost all metallurgical materials are heterogeneous in nature. 2.1.1 Sampling of Ores/Minerals The process of sampling is complicated because of the following reasons: (1) A large variety of constituents are present in ores and minerals. (2) There is a large variation in the distribution of these constituents throughout the material. (3) In many cases, weight of the sample may vary from, 0.5 to 5 gm or 10 gm. Small fraction from large quantity like 50 to 250 tonnes are not true representative of the entire lot. The size of the sample required for testing depends on the method of testing and the testing machine which is used. However, sampling may involve three operations, namely, crushing and/or grinding, mixing and finally cutting. These operations may be executed repeatedly wherein the quantity of sample can be reduced to a desired weight. Sampling should be based on the relation between maximum particle size and the amount of sample. The size of ore/mineral particles taken for sampling depends on uniformity of composition, i.e., if the composition is more uniform, smaller particle size of the sample is taken and vice versa.

    MITOCW | ocw-3.60-27sep2005-part2-220k_512kb.mp4 PROFESSOR: Examine every possible means for combining the symmetry at once, but there is a seemingly paradoxical trick that we can yet pull. And let me indicate what is true here for 2mm. OK, so this is a twofold axis. Has mirror planes perpendicular to it. If one of these is a mirror plane, the other one has to be a mirror plane as well. So there's no way we could make one a mirror plane and one a glide plane. OK, that requires a net that is exactly rectangular. So let's put in the twofold axis. And I add one to the corner of the cell. As we well know we have to have twofold axes at all of these other locations. We want to put a mirror plane in the cell. We could pass it through the twofold axis, and that would be the same as P getting to P2mn back again. But why do we have to put the mirror plane through the twofold axis? We have to have the twofold axis left unchanged when we add the mirror plane, because if we created a new twofold axis we create a new lattice and we'd wreck the lattice that we've constructed. But why, why, oh why couldn't we put the mirror plane in like this? That's going to leave the twofold axis alone. It's going to leave the translations invariant. Why don't we do that? Why not? So here, trick number five, or wherever we are now.

  • Euclidean Group - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 of 6
    Euclidean group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 6 Euclidean group From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In mathematics, the Euclidean group E(n), sometimes called ISO( n) or similar, is the symmetry group of n-dimensional Euclidean space. Its elements, the isometries associated with the Euclidean metric, are called Euclidean moves . These groups are among the oldest and most studied, at least in the cases of dimension 2 and 3 — implicitly, long before the concept of group was known.

Of these, n can be attributed to available translational symmetry, and the remaining n(n − 1)/2 to rotational symmetry. Direct and indirect isometries There is a subgroup E+(n) of the direct isometries , i.e., isometries preserving orientation, also called rigid motions ; they are the rigid body moves. These include the translations, and the rotations, which together generate E+(n). E+(n) is also called a special Euclidean group , and denoted SE (n). The others are the indirect isometries . The subgroup E+(n) is of index 2. In other words, the indirect isometries form a single coset of E+(n).
