The orthorhombic unit cell looks like a box with 3 different edge lengths. Since simple orthorhombic is one of the less-common crystal structures, I’m assuming someone searching for this is a...

If you’re googling “primitive cell,” I imagine you are a somewhat advanced student in materials science (or an extremely advanced PhD student in chemistry or physics?). The primitive cell,...

Alright, now we’re getting to the less-common crystal structures. If you’re searching for information about rhombohedral crystal cells, I’m assuming you’re a somewhat advanced student in...

Diamond tetragonal (abbreviated DT in this article) is more commonly known as the β-Sn, or white tin crystal structure. It is one of the advanced crystal structures (because it doesn’t correlate...

Diamond cubic (abbreviated DC in this article) is one of the advanced crystal structures (because it doesn’t correlate 1-1 to a Bravais lattice), so if you’re searching for information about it,...

The Simple Hexagonal (abbreviated SH in this article) is a crystal structure which has a single-atom basis on the hexagonal Bravais lattice. There are many other crystal structures which also have a...
