AI Thread Summary
High symmetry directions in a two-dimensional oblique crystal are not well-documented in existing literature, which often focuses on hexagonal or square structures. The discussion seeks clarification on the specific high symmetry points and directions within the Brillouin zone for oblique crystals. Participants express frustration over the lack of resources and examples related to oblique crystals. The need for a visual representation, such as a labeled figure of the Brillouin zone, is emphasized for better understanding. Overall, the conversation highlights a gap in educational materials regarding oblique crystal symmetry.

I'm sorry you are not generating any responses at the moment. Is there any additional information you can share with us? Any new findings?
 
One 2D oblique crystal is like any other 2D oblique crystal. No examples will be particularly useful. I asked because I couldn't find any books giving the answer. Most limit themselves to hexagonal or square crystals but skip the oblique one.
 
comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
