  2. List of space groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_space_groups

    There are 230 space groups in three dimensions, given by a number index, and a full name in Hermann–Mauguin notation, and a short name (international short symbol). The long names are given with spaces for readability. The groups each have a point group of the unit cell.

  3. Crystallographic point group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallographic_point_group

    In Schoenflies notation, point groups are denoted by a letter symbol with a subscript. The symbols used in crystallography mean the following: C n (for cyclic) indicates that the group has an n-fold rotation axis. C nh is C n with the addition of a mirror (reflection) plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

  4. List of character tables for chemically important 3D point groups

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_character_tables...

    For each non-linear group, the tables give the most standard notation of the finite group isomorphic to the point group, followed by the order of the group (number of invariant symmetry operations). The finite group notation used is: Z n : cyclic group of order n , D n : dihedral group isomorphic to the symmetry group of an n –sided regular ...

  5. Hermann–Mauguin notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann–Mauguin_notation

    The full and short symbols for all 32 crystallographic point groups are given in crystallographic point groups page. Besides five cubic groups, there are two more non-crystallographic icosahedral groups (I and I h in Schoenflies notation) and two limit groups (K and K h in Schoenflies notation). The Hermann–Mauguin symbols were not designed ...

  6. List of spherical symmetry groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spherical_symmetry...

    John Conway uses a variation of the Schoenflies notation, based on the groups' quaternion algebraic structure, labeled by one or two upper case letters, and whole number subscripts. The group order is defined as the subscript, unless the order is doubled for symbols with a plus or minus, "±", prefix, which implies a central inversion. [3]

  7. Space group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_group

    The space groups with given point group are numbered by 1, 2, 3, ... (in the same order as their international number) and this number is added as a superscript to the Schönflies symbol for the point group. For example, groups numbers 3 to 5 whose point group is C 2 have Schönflies symbols C 1 2, C 2 2, C 3 2. Fedorov notation Shubnikov symbol

  8. Point group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_group

    Point groups are used to describe the symmetries of geometric figures and physical objects such as molecules. Each point group can be represented as sets of orthogonal matrices M that transform point x into point y according to y = Mx. Each element of a point group is either a rotation (determinant of M = 1), or it is a reflection or improper ...

  9. Monoclinic crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoclinic_crystal_system

    The table below organizes the space groups of the monoclinic crystal system by crystal class. It lists the International Tables for Crystallography space group numbers, [ 2 ] followed by the crystal class name, its point group in Schoenflies notation , Hermann–Mauguin (international) notation , orbifold notation, and Coxeter notation, type ...
