Examples of point group operation
#1 Point group 222
(1) At a general position [x y z], the symmetry
is 1, Multiplicity = 4
The multiplicity
tells us how many
atoms are generated
by symmetry if we
place a single atom
at that position.

Transformation of vector components
Original vector is P =[𝑝1 , 𝑝2 , 𝑝3 ]= đ‘Ĩ, đ‘Ļ, 𝑧
i.e.
P=đ‘Ĩx+đ‘Ļy+𝑧z
When symmetry operation transform the
original axes x, y, z to the new axes
x′, y′, z′
New vector after transformation of axes
becomes P ′ = [𝑝′1, 𝑝′2, 𝑝′3 ] = đ‘ĸ, đ‘Ŗ, 𝑤
i.e.
P′ = đ‘ĸ x ′ + đ‘Ŗy′ + 𝑤 z′
The angular relations between the axes may be
specified by drawing up a table of direction
cosines.

a32

z
a13

a23
=
cosy′z
a33
=
cosz′z
Then
đ‘ĸ = đ‘Ĩ ∗ cosx′x + đ‘Ļ ∗ cosx′y + 𝑧 ∗ cosx′z
i.e.
𝑝′1 = a11 ∗ 𝑝1 + a12 ∗ 𝑝2 + a13 ∗ 𝑝3
In a dummy notation
𝑝′1 = a1j ∗ 𝑝j
Similarly
𝑝′2 = a2j ∗ 𝑝j
𝑝′3 = a3j ∗ 𝑝j
i.e.
𝑝′i = aij ∗ 𝑝j
Moreover, by repeating the argument for the
reverse transformation and we have
đ‘Ĩ = đ‘ĸ ∗ cosx ′ x + đ‘Ŗ ∗ cosy ′ x + 𝑤 ∗ cosz ′ x
𝑝1 = aj1 ∗ 𝑝′j
Similarly,
𝑝2 = aj2 ∗ 𝑝′j
𝑝3 = aj3 ∗ 𝑝′j
i.e. “old” in terms of “new”
𝑝i = aji ∗ 𝑝′j
For example: #1 Point group 4

Symmorphic space group is defined as a space
group that may be specified entirely by
symmetry operation acting at a common point
(the operations need not involve τ) as well as
the unit cell translation. (73 space groups)
Nonsymmorphic space group is defined as a
space group involving at least a translation τ.
•Cubic – The secondary symmetry symbol will always be either 3 or –
3 (i.e. Ia3, Pm3m, Fd3m)
•Tetragonal – The primary symmetry symbol will always be either 4,
(-4), 41, 42 or 43 (i.e. P41212, I4/m, P4/mcc)
•Hexagonal – The primary symmetry symbol will always be a 6, (-6),
61, 62, 63, 64 or 65 (i.e. P6mm, P63/mcm)
•Trigonal – The primary symmetry symbol will always be a 3, (-3) 31
or 32 (i.e P31m, R3, R3c, P312)
•Orthorhombic – All three symbols following the lattice descriptor
will be either mirror planes, glide planes, 2-fold rotation or screw axes
(i.e. Pnma, Cmc21, Pnc2)
•Monoclinic – The lattice descriptor will be followed by either a
single mirror plane, glide plane, 2-fold rotation or screw axis or an
axis/plane symbol (i.e. Cc, P2, P21/n)
•Triclinic – The lattice descriptor will be followed by either a 1 or a (1).

Explanation:
Condition limiting possible reflections
#1 Consider the diffraction condition from plane (h k 0)
Two atoms at x, y, z; x, y,
1
2
+z
The diffraction amplitude F can be expressed as
fi ∗ e−2π i [h k l]∗[x y z ]
F=
i
fi ∗ e−2π i [h k 0]∗[x y z ]
=
i
= fi ∗ e−2π i [h k 0]∗[x y z ] + fi ∗ e−2π i [h k 0]∗[ x
= fi ∗ e−2π i(hx +ky ) + fi ∗ e−2π i −hx −ky
= fi ∗ e−2π i(hx +ky ) + e2π i(hx +ky )
y 1/2 +z ]
= fi ∗ 2 cos 2πi hx + ky
= 2fi
Therefore, no conditions can limit the (h, k, 0) diffraction
#2 For the planes (00l)
Two atoms at x, y, z; x, y, 12+z
The diffraction amplitude F can be expressed as
fi ∗ e−2π i [h k l]∗[x i y i z i ]
F=
i
fi ∗ e−2π i [0 0 l]∗[x i y i z i ]
=
i
= fi ∗ e−2π i [0 0 l ]∗[x y z ] + fi ∗ e−2π i [0 0 l ]∗[ x
−2π ilz
−2π i
= fi ∗ e
+ fi ∗ e
= fi ∗ e−2π ilz ∗ 1 + e−πil
= fi ∗ 1 + e−πil
y 1/2 +z ]
l
+lz
2
If l=2n, then F=2fi
If l=2n+1, then F=0
Therefore, the condition l=2n limit the (0, 0 ,l) diffraction.

Determining a Crystal Structure from
Symmetry & Composition
Example:
Consider the following information:
Stoichiometry = SrTiO3
Space Group = Pm3m
a = 3.90 Å
Density = 5.1 g/cm3
First step:
calculate the number of formula units per unit
cell :
Formula Weight SrTiO3 = 87.62 + 47.87 + 3ī‚´
(16.00) = 183.49 g/mol (M)
Unit Cell Volume = (3.90ī‚´10-8 cm)3 = 5.93 ī‚´
10-23 cm3 (V)
(5.1 g/cm3)ī‚´(5.93 ī‚´ 10-23 cm3) : weight in a
unit cell
(183.49 g/mole) / (6.022 ī‚´1023/mol) : weight
of one molecule of SrTiO3
ī‚Ž (5.1 g/cm3)ī‚´(5.93 ī‚´ 10-23 cm3)/
(183.49 g/mole/6.022 ī‚´1023/mol) = 0.99
ī‚Ž number of molecules per unit cell : 1 SrTiO3.
