The Fascination of Crystals and Symmetry

Thanks to Eduardo Carrillo Aravena’s tremendous support of the project, the diagrams for all hexagonal space groups are now complete as well (space groups no. 168 – 194)! You can find the the diagrams here: Enjoy!

In addition to my post yesterday, I discovered a fantastic tool for space group symmetry: Jmol Space Group Symmetry Visualiser Unlike my simple 2D drawings, all space groups can be displayed in 3D. And not just the symmetry elements and general position, but all Wyckoff positions! Truly remarkable! Example of the visualization of the space […]

I used the semester break to make some progress on the space group diagram project. Now another milestone has been reached: all space group diagrams of the trigonal crystal system (space groups no. 143 – 167) are complete! They are available as PNG, PDF, and PPT at: https://crystalsymmetry.wordpress.com/space-group-diagrams/ Enjoy!
