Diamond is a crystal structure with a face centered cubic Bravais lattice and two atoms in the basis. Carbon, silicon germanium, and α-tin form this crystal structure.
Crystal structure: Diamond
Bravais lattice: face centered cubic
Space group: 227 (F d -3 m), Strukturbericht: A4, Pearson symbol: cF8
Point group: m3m (Oh) six 2-fold rotations, four 3-fold rotations, three 4-fold rotations, nine mirror planes, inversion
Lattice constant: $a$ $a_{\text{C}}=0.3567$ nm, $a_{\text{Si}}=0.5431$ nm, $a_{\text{Ge}}=0.5658$ nm, $a_{\alpha\text{-Sn}}=0.646$ nm
Atomic density $n_{\text{atoms}}=8/a^3$
Density of surface atoms
(100): $\large \frac{2}{a^2}$
(110): $\large \frac{4}{\sqrt{2}a^2}$
(111): $\large \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}a^2}$
The lattice parameters of the conventional unit cell are:
\[ \begin{equation} a = b = c, \hspace{0.5cm} \alpha = 90^{\circ} , \,\beta = 90^{\circ} ,\,\gamma = 90^{\circ} . \end{equation} \]The primitive lattice vectors are,
$\vec{a}_1=\frac{a}{2}\hat{x}+\frac{a}{2}\hat{y}$, $\vec{a}_2=\frac{a}{2}\hat{x}+\frac{a}{2}\hat{z}$, $\vec{a}_3=\frac{a}{2}\hat{y}+\frac{a}{2}\hat{z}$.
There are two atoms in the basis. In fractional coordinates of the conventional unit, the positions of the two atoms are,
$\vec{B}_1=(0,0,0)$, $\vec{B}_2=(0.25,0.25,0.25)$.
The asymmetric unit contains one atom at fractional coordinate (0,0,0). The positions of the other atoms can be determined by applying the symmetries of the space group.
