The crystal structure defines the arrangement of atoms periodically repeated in space, because of the symmetry operations of the space group. Determining a crystal structure involves specifying, for a material of unknown structure, the parameters of its lattice, its Bravais lattice, its space group and the position of atoms in the lattice. Crystalline structures are determined from single-crystal samples, powders or thin films.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
