How does that prove that the thing is a Bravais Lattice? I am trying to imagine whether or not all points are equivalent. For instance, if the point in the middle of some face can be seen as the point of a corner? Do you understand? Do you think that if i always use this method, I will be able...
I have a real hard time trying to imagine why a face centered cubic cell originates a Bravais lattice. Could you try to explain it? I have also been trying to figure out if a side-centered cell is a Bravais lattice as well. This cell is a simple cubic cell with additional point at the midpoints...
That is how is defined in my book. Thus, the disadvantage of using a primitve cell is that how you can only have one lattice point inside of, sometimes you will get a pretty weird shaped cell. If you are more flexible, and if you decide to have more lattice points inside of your unit cell, you...
