Why Solids? All Elements and compounds are solids under
suitable conditions of temperature and pressure. Many exist only as solids.

Early Ideas
Spheres and small shapes can be packed to produce regular shapes (Hooke; Hauy,1812)
?
As a consequence of studies on cleavage, envisaged calcite crystals, of whatever habit, as built up by the packing together of “constituent molecules” in the form of minute rhombohedral units.
Crystals A homogenous solid formed by a repeating, three-dimensional pattern of atoms, ions, or molecules and having fi d di t b t tit t t
Definition Crystal
fixed distances between constituent parts.
A crystal may be defined as a collection of atoms arranged in a pattern that is periodic in 3D.
Crystals are necessarily solids, but not all solids are crystalline (amorphous solids lack long range periodic order).

Crystallinity
In a perfect single crystal, all atoms in the crystal are related either through translational symmetry or point symmetry.
Polycrystalline materials are made up of a great number of tiny (m to nm) single crystals

• Single crystal:atoms are in a repeating or periodic array over the entire extent of the material
• Polycrystalline material:comprised of many small crystals or grains The grains have different

Homogeneity Under macroscopic observation, the physics effect and chemical composition of a crystal are the same.
Basic Characteristic of Crystals
e. g. the crystal has the fixed melting point
Anisotropy Physical properties of a crystal differ according to the direction of measurement.
e. g. self-limitation in the crystal growth
Different directions in a crystal have different packing. For instance, atoms along the edge of FCC (face-centered cubic ) unit cell are more separated than along the face diagonal. This causes anisotropy in the properties of crystals, for i t th d f ti d d
Anisotropy
instance, the deformation depends on the direction in which a stress is applied.

In some polycrystalline materials, grain orientations are random, so bulk material properties are isotropic.
Some polycrystalline materials have g ains ith p efe ed o ientationsgrains with preferred orientations (texture), so properties are dominated by those relevant to the texture orientation and the material exhibits anisotropic properties.
The interfacial angles are constant for all crystals if a given mineral with identical composition at the same temperature.
Law of Constancy of Interfacial Angle“first law of crystallography” ----Danish physician Nicolas Stenon on quartz crystals, 1869
Since all crystals of the same substance will have the same spacing between lattice points (they have the same crystal structure), the angles between corresponding faces of the same mineral will be the same.
The symmetry of the lattice will determine the angular relationships between crystal faces.

Crystal Shape
The external shape of a crystal is referred to as its Habit
Not all crystals have well defined external faces
Typically see faces on crystals grown from solution

Israel's Daniel Shechtman wins Nobel Prize in chemistry (2011)
Excerpts from 2011 Nobel chemistry prize citation:“In all solid matter, atoms were believed to be packed inside crystals in symmetrical patterns that were repeated periodically over and over again. For scientists, this repetition was required in order to obtain a crystal. Shechtman’s image, however, showed that the atoms in his crystal were packed in a pattern that could not be repeated.”“His discovery was extremely controversial. In the course of defending his findings, he was asked to leave his research group. However, his battle eventually forced scientists to reconsider their conception of the very nature of matter.”“Following Shechtman’s discovery, scientists have produced other kinds of quasicrystals in the lab and discovered naturally occurring quasicrystals in mineral samples from a Russian river. A Swedish company has also found quasicrystals in a certain form of steel, where the crystals reinforce the material like armor. Scientists are currently experimenting with using quasicrystals in different products such as frying pans and diesel engines.”

Dan Shechtman (Hebrew: דן שכטמן) (born in 1941 in Tel Aviv) is the Philip Tobias Professor of Materials Science at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, an Associate of the US Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory, and Professor of Materials Science at Iowa State University. On April 8, 1982, while on sabbatical at the U.S. National Bureau of Standards in Washington, D.C., Shechtman discovered the icosahedral phase, which opened the new field of quasiperiodic crystals.He was awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for "the discovery of quasicrystals". After receiving his doctorate, Prof. Shechtman was an NRC fellow at the Aerospace Research Laboratories at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio, where he studied for three years the microstructure and physical metallurgy of titanium aluminides In 1975 he joined the department of materials engineering at titanium aluminides. In 1975 he joined the department of materials engineering at Technion. In 1981-1983 he was on Sabbatical at Johns Hopkins University, where he studied rapidly solidified aluminum transition metal alloys (joint program with NBS). During this study he discovered the Icosahedral Phase which opened the new field of quasiperiodic crystals. In 1992-1994 he was on Sabbatical at NIST, where he studied the effect of the defect structure of CVD diamond on its growth and properties. Prof. Shechtman's Technion research is conducted in the Louis Edelstein Center, and in the Wolfson Centre which is headed by him. He served on several Technion Senate Committees and headed one of them.

Liquid Crystal
Liquid crystals are a phase of matter whose order is intermediate between that of a liquid and that of a crystal. The molecules are typically yp yrod-shaped organic moieties about 25 Angstroms in length and their ordering is a function of temperature.

Mirror Plane Symmetry
p p pCl bonds
A crystal has reflectional symmetry if an imaginary plane can divide the crystal into halves, each of which is the mirror image of the other.
Symmetry OperationReflection flips all points in the
asymmetric unit over a line, which is called the mirror and thereby changes the handedness of any figures in the asymmetric unit. The points along the mirror line are all invariant points under a reflection.
Mirror planes in Cube

Rotational Symmetry
In crystals limited to 1,2,3,4, and 6 rotations
Symmetry OperationRotation
turns all the points in the asymmetric unit around one point, the center of rotation. A rotation does not change the handedness of figures in the plane. The center of rotation is the only invariant point.
Symmetry Axis of Rotation
We say a crystal has a symmetry axis of rotation when we can turn it by some degree about a point and the pattern looks exactly the same. Think of the center of a pizza. If it is made so that all the
i h i d hpieces are the same size and have the same ingredients in the same places, then the pizza could be turned and you couldn't tell the difference. This means the pizza has rotational symmetry. The pizza below has rotational symmetry of 60 degrees.

Point GroupsPoint groups have symmetry about a single point at the center of mass of the system.Symmetry elements are geometric entities about which a symmetry operation can be performed. In a point group, all symmetry elements must pass through the center of mass
h i i i h i(the point). A symmetry operation is the action that produces an object identical to the initial object.Group theory is a very powerful mathematical tool that allows us to rationalize and simplify many problems in chemistry. A group consists of a set of symmetry elements (and associated symmetry operations) that completely describe the symmetry of an object.

Definition of Crystal Structures
Crystal Structure: The spatial order of the atoms is called the crystal structure, or the periodic arrangement of atoms in the crystal.
It can be described by associating with each lattice point a group of atoms called the Motif (Basis).
Structure=Lattice+Motif
Lattice = An infinite array of points in space, in which each point has identical surroundings to all othersothers.Crystal Structure = The periodic arrangement of atoms in the crystal.It can be described by associating with each lattice point a group of atoms called the
Lattice: Periodic arrangement of points in space. Must be one of the 14 Bravais lattices.

Definitions -the Unit Cell
“The smallest repeat unit of a crystal structure, in 3D, which shows the full symmetry of the structure”
The unit cell is a bo ith The unit cell is a box with: 3 sides a, b, c3 angles , ,
Unit Cell
The unit cell is the basic building block of the crystal
The unit cell can contain multiple copies of the same molecule whose positions are governed by symmetry rules
2D example Rocksalt (sodium chloride, NaCl)
We define lattice points: these are points with identical environments
Choice of origin is arbitrary: lattice points need not be atoms, but unit cell size should always be the same.
This is also a unit cell it doesn't matter if you start from Na or Cl
or if you don’t start from an atom

了解Herman-Mauguin空间群符号
空间群是经常用简略Herman-Mauguin符号(即
Pnma、I4/mmm等)来指定。 在简略符号中包含能
产生所有其余对称元素所必需的最少对称元素。
从简略H-M符号,我们可以确定晶系、Bravais点阵、
点群和某些对称元素的存在和取向(反之亦然)。
空间群符号LS1S2S3
运用以下规则,可以从对称元素获得H-M空间群符号。
1.第一字母(L)是点阵描述符号,指明点阵带心类型: P, I, F,
C, A, B。
2.其于三个符号(S1S2S3)表示在特定方向(对每种晶系分别规定)
上的对称元素上的对称元素。
3.如果没有二义性可能,常用符号的省略形式 (如Pm,而不用写成
P1m1)。
* 由于不同的晶轴选择和标记,同一个空间群可能有几种不同的符号。
如P21/c,如滑移面选为在a方向,符号为P21/a;如滑移面选为对角
滑移,符号为P21/n。

1、通过原点作一平行于该晶向的直线;
2、求出该直线上任一点的坐标(u’,v’,w’,);
3、 u’,v’,w’的互质整数为u,v,w, 则[uvw]为晶向指数。

The fourth axis a3 is just
