Why Solids?
All Elements and compounds are solids under suitable conditions of temperature and pressure. Many exist only as solids.
atoms in ~fixed position
“simple” case crystalline solid Crystal Structure
Why study crystal structures?
description of solid
comparison with other similar materials classification
correlation with physical properties
Crystals are solid but solids are not necessarily crystalline
Crystals have symmetry (Kepler, 1611) and long range order
Spheres and small shapes can be packed to produce regular shapes (Hooke; Hauy,1812)
?
Early Ideas
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 fixed distances between constituent parts.
Definition Crystal 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).
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
Crystallinity

• 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 crystallographic orientation.There exists atomic mismatch within the regions where grains meet. These regions are called grain boundaries.
Single Crystal and Polycrystalline Materials
repeated arrangement of atoms extends throughout the specimen
all unit cells have the same orientation
exist in nature
can also be grown (eg. Si)
without external constraints, will have flat, regular faces

Polycrystalline Materials
Most crystalline materials are composed of many small crystals called grains
Crystallographic directions of adjacent grains are usually random
There is usually atomic mismatch where two grains meet this is called a grain boundary
Most powdered materials have many randomly oriented grains
Polycrystalline Materials High-performance bulk thermoelectrics with all-scale hierarchical architectures
Micro and nanostructures in SPS PbTe–SrTe(4 mol%) doped with 2 mol% Na.

Homogeneity Under macroscopic observation, the physics effect and chemical composition of a crystal are the same.
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
Basic Characteristic of Crystals
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 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 grains 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.
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
Natural faces always have low indices (orientation can be described by Miller indices that are small integers)
The faces that you see are the lowest energy faces
Surface energy is minimized during growth

Crystal Habits
This is a term that refers to the form that a crystal takes as it grows.
Crystal Habits
Law of Symmetry: Only 1,2,3,4,6-fold rotation axis can exist in crystal.
Why snowflakes have 6 corners, never 5 or
7? By considering the packing of polygons in 2 dimensions, demonstrate why pentagons and heptagons shouldn’t occur.

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.”

Phys. Rev. Lett. 53, 1951–1953 (1984) Metallic Phase with Long-Range Orientational Order and No Translational Symmetry
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 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.

1982年,两位主要从事航空用高强度铝合金研究的以色列科学家Shechtman和Blech
,无意中在急冷Al6Mn合金中发现五次对称衍射图,由于两人的晶体学基础一般,就到处
请教晶体学专家,专家们认为那不过是晶体学中常见的五次孪晶,抱着试试看的态度,他
们还是决定把文章寄到美国《应用物理杂志》,不幸被不识货的杂志编辑直接退稿,成名
后的Shechtman对此事仍耿耿于怀,他作学术报告时总喜欢把那封退稿信作为第一张透明
片,来讽刺那位有眼无珠的编辑。
后来他们又去请教法国CNRS冶金化学研究所的D. Gratias,由于实验结果与传统晶体
学的周期性相矛盾,Gratias认为很难被主流接受发表。1984年秋,Gratias在加州大学的
一次理论物理讨论会中听了Steinhardt的报告,发现他们关于二十面体理论模型的衍射花
样与Shechtman等人的实验结果完全一致,两人会后这么一碰,火花就出来了,他们决定
把理论和实验结果同时寄到物理学最权威的 Physical Review Letters,独具慧眼的编辑让
两篇文章以最快的速度先后发表,从此准晶(Quasicrystal)这个新名称诞生了。
准晶的发现引发了上世纪八十年代全球性的准晶热,中日美成为引领准晶研究的三驾
马车,各种准晶材料和结构被发现,当然,也有不少研究者“顿足捶胸”,这不是自己N
年前就发现的东西吗?准晶的发现也刺激了某些权威的神经,以双料诺贝尔奖获得者鲍林
(Pauling:1954年诺贝尔化学奖,1962年和平奖,1995年去世)为代表的保守势力,要
誓死捍卫传统晶体理论的“纯洁性”,他们认为所谓准晶就是众人皆知的孪晶,在Nature
发文用“Nonsense”这个词形容准晶的发现,并利用自己的特殊身份在美国科学院院报
上连发檄文,歇斯底里地反对准晶。

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 rod-shaped organic moieties about 25 Angstroms in length and their ordering is a function of temperature.

Principles of Liquid Crystal Displays
No voltage voltage
Smaller, lighter, with no radiation problems. Found on portables and notebooks, and starting to appear more and more on desktops.
Less tiring than c.r.t. (Cathoderay tube) displays, and reduce eyestrain, due to reflected nature of light rather than emitted. Use of supertwisted crystals have improved the viewing angle, and response rates are improving all the time (necessary for tracking cursor accurately).

• Mathematics of Symmetry

• Physical Properties Caused by Symmetry
Crystal Symmetry Symmetry is one idea by which man through the ages has tried to comprehend and create order, beauty and perfection. Hermann Weyl
Eiffel tower in Paris, France is a wonderful example of symmetry
Symmetry in Nature, Art and Math
Point symmetry elements operate to change the orientation of structural motifs
A point symmetry operation does not alter at least one point that it operates on
Symmetry Elements and Symmetry Operations:
1. Mirror Planes ——Reflection or Mirror
2. Center of Symmetry ——Inverse
3. Rotation Axis ——Rotate
4. Rotoinversion Axis ——Rotate and inverse

Mirror Plane Symmetry
9
This molecule has two mirror planes: One is horizontal, in the plane of the
paper and bisects the H-C-H bonds Other is vertical, perpendicular to the
plane of the paper and bisects the Cl-C-Cl 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.
Mirror Plane Symmetry
Symmetry Operation Reflection 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
Rotated about a point
Allows chirality
In crystals limited to 1,2,3,4, and 6 rotations
Rotational Symmetry
Symmetry Operation
Rotation
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 pieces 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.

Can rotate by 120 about the C-Cl bond and the molecule looks identical the H atoms are indistinguishable. This is called a rotation axis
in particular, a three fold rotation axis, as rotate by 120 (= 360/3) to reach an identical configuration
Rotation Axis (Cn)
In general: n-fold rotation axis = rotation by (360/n)

Point Groups
Point 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 (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.
Point Group
Point group (point symmetry)All crystalline solids can be characterized by 32 different combinations of symmetry elements. There are two naming systems commonly used in describing symmetry elements 1. The Schoenflies notation used extensively by spectroscopists 2. The Hermann-Mauguin or international notation preferred by crystallographers

Crystal Systems
There are seven crystal systems which can be defined either on the basis of symmetry, or, upon the basic building block of the crystal. The seven main symmetry groups into which all crystals, whether natural or artificial, can be classified. All crystals grow in one of following seven shapes on the microscopic level.
1 Cubic or Isometric (3 axes of equal length intersect at 90˚) 2 Tetragonal (2 axes of same length, all at 90˚) 3 Orthorhombic (3 axes of different length at 90˚) 4 Hexagonal (3 horizontal axis at 60˚. vertical axis at 90˚) 5 Monoclinic (3 axes of different length, 2 intersect at 90˚, the
other is oblique to the others) 6 Triclinic (3 axes of different length are all oblique to one
another) 7 Trigonal (Rhombohedral) (3 axes of equal length)

We can use a flow chart such as this one to determine the point group of any object. The steps in this process are: 1. Determine the symmetry is special. 2. Determine if there is a principal rotation axis. 3. Determine if there are rotation axes perpendicular to the principal axis. 4. Determine if there are mirror planes. 5. Assign point group.
Identifying Point Groups
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 others. 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 Motif (Basis)
Lattice: Periodic arrangement of points in space.
Motif: Collection of atoms to be placed equivalently
about each lattice point. Consists of atomic identities
and fractional coordinates.

Microscopic Symmetry Elements
(Space Symmetry Elements)
1. Lattice —— its corresponding operation is translational symmetry.
2. screw axis —— combination of a rotation and a translational symmetry.
3. glide plane —— combination of a reflection and a translational symmetry.
All these actions are space symmetry. Every point in the space is changed, but the space do not change after the action. So, their symmetry is called space groups.

Symmetry Operation
Symmetry Operation:
Translation
moves all the points in the asymmetric unit the same distance in the same direction. This has no effect on the handedness of figures in the plane. There are no invariant points under a translation.

Glide Reflection reflects the asymmetric unit across a mirror line and then translates parallel to the mirror. A glide reflection changes the handedness of figures in the asymmetric unit. There are no invariant points under a glide reflection.
Glide Reflection: A glide reflection combines a reflection with a translation along the direction of the mirror line.
Symmetry Operation
A glide plane is a combination of a reflection and a translation. The orientation of the plane and its symbol determine what sort of translation is involved.

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。
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 从首位符号知,属于体心格子; ② 从后面的符号知,属于四方晶系4/mmm 对称型; ③ 由对称要素知,平行c轴方向为螺旋轴41 ,垂直c轴有滑移 面a,垂直a轴为对称面m,垂直a轴与b轴的角平分线为滑 移面d 。

• 晶向指数
点阵中穿过若干阵点的直线方向称为晶向,其指数为[uvw]。晶向指数代表的是一族平行的直线。
晶向指数可如下求得:
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。

A crystal structure can be regarded as a grid (lattice) which is a 3D array of points (lattice points).
The grid can be divided into sets of “planes” in different orientations.
Lattice Planes and Miller Indices
It is possible to describe certain directions and planes with respect to the crystal lattice using a set of three integers referred to as Miller Indices.
• 晶面指数
如某一不通过原点的点阵平面在三个轴矢方向上的截距为m(以a为单位),n(以b为单位)和p(以c为单位)。令
1/m : 1/n : 1/p = h : k : l
h : k : l为互质整数比,称为米勒指数(miller indices),记为(hkl)。它代表一族相互平行的点阵平面,该指数用于表征相应的晶面,也称为晶面指数。

Examples of Miller Indices
Miller indices describe the orientation and spacing of a family of planes.
the spacing between adjacent planes in a family is referred to as a “d-spacing”
Three different families of planes
d-spacing between (300) planes is one third of the (100) spacing (100) (200) (300)
Families of Planes All planes in a set are identical The planes are “imaginary” The perpendicular distance between pairs
of adjacent planes is the d-spacing
Find intercepts on a,b,c: 1/4, 2/3, 1/2 Take reciprocals 4, 3/2, 2 Multiply up to integers:(8 3 4) [if necessary]
Exercise

Find intercepts on a,b,c: 1/2, 1, 1/2 Take reciprocals 2, 1, 2 Multiply up to integers: (2, 1, 2)
Plane perpendicular to y cuts at , 1, (0 1 0) plane
General label is (h k l) which intersects at a/h, b/k, c/l (hkl) is the Miller Index of that plane.
This diagonal cuts at 1, 1, (1 1 0) plane
(0 means that the plane is parallel to that axis)

Indexing in the Hexagonal System
In hexagonal unit cells it
is common to refer the
orientation of planes and
lines to four coordinate
axes
The fourth axis a3 is just
= -a2-a1 . This approach
reflects the three fold
symmetry associated with
the unit cell
Indices are expressed as (hkil) h + k = i All cyclic permutations of h, k and i are symmetry equivalent
So are equivalent
