The monoclinic structure has two unit cells. The primative cell (P) has fractional lattice points at the corners of the cell, and the base-centered cell (C) has additional fractional lattice points at ...

pattern shown here. Since I realize that it is difficult to pin point the actual unit cell from the lattice, let's cut some of the atoms from the end of the lattice in order to facilitate this. This ...

This single layer is the precursor of the simple cubic (SC) unit cell. The lattice points are touching one another but not in the most efficient way. In other words, we are creating a lot of empty ...

In a paper recently published in Chinese Physics Letters, a research team from Peking University report their latest ...
