    The document discusses point groups and crystal classes. It describes stereographic projections which are used to display crystal morphology. There are 32 point groups that fall into 7 crystal systems: triclinic, monoclinic, orthorhombic, tetragonal, trigonal, hexagonal, and cubic. Each point group is defined by its Hermann-Mauguin symbol which describes its symmetry. Examples of point groups are given for each crystal system along with their stereographic projections.

    Point Groups
    (Crystal Classes)

    Stereographic Projections
    Used to display crystal morphology. p gy X for upper hemisphere. O for lower.

    Stereographic Projections

    Hermann-Mauguin Symbols
    Three positions in H-M symbol

    32 PointGroups:

    We will use stereographic projections to plot the perpendicular to a general face and its symmetry equivalents (general form hkl). Illustrated above are the stereographic projections for Triclinic point groups 1 and -1.

    Triclinic: No unique q axis Only y 1 or -1 Monoclinic: (b-unique) [010] Orthorhombic: [100], [010], [001] Tetragonal: [001], [100], [110] Trigonal: [001], [100], Hexagonal: [001], [100], [210]

    Cubic: [100], [111], [110]
