Two-fold Three-fold Five-fold Six-fold Crystallography Modern crystallography started in 1912 with the seminal work of von Laue who performed the first x-ray diffraction experiment. The crystals von Laue studied were ordered and periodic, and all the hundreds of thousands crystals studied during the 70 years from 1912 till 1982 were found to be ordered and periodic. Based on these observation, a paradigm was created that all crystals are periodic and the following definitions of “crystal” was accepted by the community of crystallographers and by the scientific community in general. Crystal definition till 1991 A crystal may be defined as: A solid composed of atoms arranged in a pattern periodic in three dimensions “X-ray Diffraction”, Culity 1959 Atoms in a crystal are arranged in a pattern that repeats itself in three dimensions throughout the interior of the crystal “Structure of Metals” Barrett and Massalski, 1966 Crystallography in 1982 Crystallography in 1982 Atoms in diamond – periodic order The order of carbon atoms in diamond is periodic.
