Abstract

According to the definition given by the International Union of Crystallographers, “by “crystal” is meant any solid having an essentially discrete diffraction diagram” [1]. A typical diffraction pattern corresponding to a “classical” periodic, perfect crystal looks like the one shown in Fig. 2.1 [2]. This pattern corresponds to the inner structure of the material, which can be represented as an array of periodically repeating fragments. The whole structure can be described by defining the repeating fragment (basis) and a set of three non-coplanar unit vectors. The three unit vectors can be used to build a parallelepiped: a unit cell. Translations are not the only symmetry elements that can be used to describe a periodic structure. Combinations of mirror reflections, rotations, inversions, glides and screw rotations form groups, that are termed space symmetry groups. [3] A periodic structure can then be described only by defining the crystallographic coordinates of an asymmetric unit and the symmetry operations of the space symmetry group.
