Symmetries of coincidence site lattices of cubic lattices

چکیده
We consider the symmetries of coincidence site lattices of 3-dimensional cubic lattices. This includes the discussion of the symmetry groups and the Bravais classes of the CSLs. We derive various criteria and necessary conditions for symmetry operations of CSLs. They are used to obtain a complete list of the symmetry groups and the Bravais classes of those CSLs that are generated by a rotation through the angle p.

Colourings of lattices and coincidence site lattices Manuel
The relationship between the coincidence indices of a lattice Γ1 and a sublattice Γ2 of Γ1 is examined via the colouring of Γ1 that is obtained by assigning a unique colour to each coset of Γ2. In addition, the idea of colour symmetry, originally defined for symmetries of lattices, is extended to coincidence isometries of lattices. An example involving the Ammann-Beenker tiling is provided to i...
متن کاملA New Geometrical Method for Constructing Coincident Site Lattices for Cubic Crystals
–A simple independent method for geometrical construction of two-dimensional coincidence site lattices (CSL) based on vector representation of lattice sites is put forward. In this method, the construction of such CSLs is achieved by mutual rotation of a unique vector, termed a sigma generating vector, which has the magnitude of a non-prime integer and is present in an identically oriented supe...
متن کاملThe Coincidence Problem
Discrete point sets S such as lattices or quasiperiodic Delone sets may permit, beyond their symmetries, certain isometries R such that S ∩ RS is a subset of S of finite density. These are the so-called coincidence isometries. They are important in understanding and classifying grain boundaries and twins in crystals and quasicrystals. It is the purpose of this contribution to introduce the corr...
متن کاملSimilar Submodules and Coincidence Site Modules
We consider connections between similar sublattices and coincidence site lattices and, more generally, between similar submodules and coincidence site modules of general (free) Z-modules in R. In particular, we generalise results obtained by S. Glied and M. Baake on similarity and coincidence isometries of lattices and certain lattice-like modules called S-modules. An important result is that t...

A lattice is called well-rounded, if its lattice vectors of minimal length span the ambient space. We show that there are interesting connections between the existence of well-rounded sublattices and coincidence site lattices (CSLs). Furthermore, we count the number of well-rounded sublattices for several planar lattices and give their asymptotic behaviour.
