NaCl

NaCl is a crystal structure with a face centered cubic Bravais lattice and two atoms in the basis.

Crystal structure: NaCl
Bravais lattice: face centered cubic
Space group: 225 (F m -3 m),   Strukturbericht: B1,   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 = 0.564 $ nm
Atomic density $n_{\text{atoms}}=8/a^3$


The lattice paramters 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,

$\vec{B}_1=(0,0,0)$,   $\vec{B}_2=(0.5,0,0)$.

Space group: 225 (F m -3 m)
