direction
secondarydirection
-symmetry elements along primary, secondary and ternary symmetry directions
- centring type
- rotations/planes along the same direction
rotations: by the axes of rotationplanes: by the normals to the planes
A direction is called a symmetry direction of a crystal structure if it is parallel to an axis of rotation or rotoinversion or if it is parallel to the normal of a reflection plane.

Problem 2.2 (cont.)EXERCISES
Construct the matrix-column pairs (W,w) of the following coordinate triplets:
(1) x,y,z (2) -x,y+1/2,-z+1/2(3) -x,-y,-z (4) x,-y+1/2, z+1/2
Use the program SYMMETRY OPERATIONS for the geometric interpretation of the matrix-column pairs of the symmetry operations.
Characterize geometrically these matrix-column pairs taking into account that they refer to a monoclinic basis with unique axis b (type of operation, glide/screw component, location of the symmetry operation).

Also, the inverse matrices of P and pare needed. They are
Q ! P"1
and
q! "P"1p!
The matrix qconsists of the components of the negative shift vectorq which refer to the coordinate system a#, b#, c#, i.e.
q ! q1a# $ q2b# $ q3c#!
Thus, the transformation (Q, q) is the inverse transformation of(P, p). Applying (Q, q) to the basis vectors a#, b#, c# and the originO#, the old basis vectors a, b, c with origin O are obtained.
For a two-dimensional transformation of a# and b#, someelements of Q are set as follows: Q33 ! 1 andQ13 ! Q23 ! Q31 ! Q32 ! 0.
The quantities which transform in the same way as the basisvectors a, b, c are called covariant quantities and are written as rowmatrices. They are:
the Miller indices of a plane (or a set of planes), (hkl), in directspace and
the coordinates of a point in reciprocal space, h, k, l.
Both are transformed by
%h#, k#, l#& ! %h, k, l&P!
Usually, the Miller indices are made relative prime before and afterthe transformation.
The quantities which are covariant with respect to the basisvectors a, b, c are contravariant with respect to the basis vectorsa', b', c' of reciprocal space.
The basis vectors of reciprocal space are written as a columnmatrix and their transformation is achieved by the matrix Q:
a'#

These transformation rules apply also to the quantities covariantwith respect to the basis vectors a', b', c' and contravariant withrespect to a, b, c, which are written as column matrices. They are theindices of a direction in direct space, [uvw], which are transformedby

In contrast to all quantities mentioned above, the components of aposition vector r or the coordinates of a point X in direct spacex, y, z depend also on the shift of the origin in direct space. Thegeneral (affine) transformation is given by

In this case, r ! r#, i.e. the position vector is invariant, althoughthe basis vectors and the components are transformed. For a pureshift of origin, i.e. P ! Q ! I , the transformed position vector r#becomes

Co-ordinate transformations in crystallography
5.1. Transformations of the coordinate system (unit-cell transformations)BY H. ARNOLD
5.1.1. Introduction
There are two main uses of transformations in crystallography.(i) Transformation of the coordinate system and the unit cell
while keeping the crystal at rest. This aspect forms the main topic ofthe present part. Transformations of coordinate systems are usefulwhen nonconventional descriptions of a crystal structure areconsidered, for instance in the study of relations between differentstructures, of phase transitions and of group–subgroup relations.Unit-cell transformations occur particularly frequently whendifferent settings or cell choices of monoclinic, orthorhombic orrhombohedral space groups are to be compared or when ‘reducedcells’ are derived.
(ii) Description of the symmetry operations (motions) of anobject (crystal structure). This involves the transformation of thecoordinates of a point or the components of a position vector whilekeeping the coordinate system unchanged. Symmetry operations aretreated in Chapter 8.1 and Part 11. They are briefly reviewed inChapter 5.2.
5.1.2. Matrix notation
Throughout this volume, matrices are written in the followingnotation:
As (1 ! 3) row matrices:
(a, b, c) the basis vectors of direct space(h, k, l) the Miller indices of a plane (or a set of
planes) in direct space or the coordinatesof a point in reciprocal space

$ " W wo 1
! "the augmented #4 ! 4 $ matrix of asymmetry operation in direct space (cf.Chapter 8.1 and Part 11).
5.1.3. General transformation
Here the crystal structure is considered to be at rest, whereas thecoordinate system and the unit cell are changed. Specifically, apoint X in a crystal is defined with respect to the basis vectors a, b, cand the origin O by the coordinates x, y, z, i.e. the position vector rof point X is given by
r " xa ( yb ( zc
" #a, b, c$x
y
z
#
$%
&
'("
The same point X is given with respect to a new coordinate system,i.e. the new basis vectors a&, b&, c& and the new origin O& (Fig.5.1.3.1), by the position vector
r& " x&a& ( y&b& ( z&c&"
In this section, the relations between the primed and unprimedquantities are treated.
The general transformation (affine transformation) of thecoordinate system consists of two parts, a linear part and a shiftof origin. The #3 ! 3$ matrix P of the linear part and the #3 ! 1$column matrix p, containing the components of the shift vector p,define the transformation uniquely. It is represented by the symbol(P, p).
(i) The linear part implies a change of orientation or length orboth of the basis vectors a, b, c, i.e.
#a&, b&, c&$ " #a, b, c$P
" #a, b, c$P11 P12 P13
P21 P22 P23
P31 P32 P33
#
$%
&
'(
" #P11a ( P21b ( P31c,
P12a ( P22b ( P32c,
P13a ( P23b ( P33c$"
For a pure linear transformation, the shift vector p is zero and thesymbol is (P, o).
The determinant of P, det#P$, should be positive. If det#P$ isnegative, a right-handed coordinate system is transformed into aleft-handed one (or vice versa). If det#P$ " 0, the new basis vectorsare linearly dependent and do not form a complete coordinatesystem.
In this chapter, transformations in three-dimensional space aretreated. A change of the basis vectors in two dimensions, i.e. of thebasis vectors a and b, can be considered as a three-dimensionaltransformation with invariant c axis. This is achieved by settingP33 " 1 and P13 " P23 " P31 " P32 " 0.
(ii) A shift of origin is defined by the shift vector
p " p1a ( p2b ( p3c"
The basis vectors a, b, c are fixed at the origin O; the new basisvectors are fixed at the new origin O& which has the coordinatesp1, p2, p3 in the old coordinate system (Fig. 5.1.3.1).
For a pure origin shift, the basis vectors do not change their lengthsor orientations. In this case, the transformation matrix P is the unitmatrix I and the symbol of the pure shift becomes (I, p).

For a pure linear transformation, the shift vector p is zero and thesymbol is (P, o).
The determinant of P, det#P$, should be positive. If det#P$ isnegative, a right-handed coordinate system is transformed into aleft-handed one (or vice versa). If det#P$ " 0, the new basis vectorsare linearly dependent and do not form a complete coordinatesystem.
In this chapter, transformations in three-dimensional space aretreated. A change of the basis vectors in two dimensions, i.e. of thebasis vectors a and b, can be considered as a three-dimensionaltransformation with invariant c axis. This is achieved by settingP33 " 1 and P13 " P23 " P31 " P32 " 0.
(ii) A shift of origin is defined by the shift vector
p " p1a ( p2b ( p3c"
The basis vectors a, b, c are fixed at the origin O; the new basisvectors are fixed at the new origin O& which has the coordinatesp1, p2, p3 in the old coordinate system (Fig. 5.1.3.1).
For a pure origin shift, the basis vectors do not change their lengthsor orientations. In this case, the transformation matrix P is the unitmatrix I and the symbol of the pure shift becomes (I, p).

Also, the inverse matrices of P and pare needed. They are
Q ! P"1
and
q! "P"1p!
The matrix qconsists of the components of the negative shift vectorq which refer to the coordinate system a#, b#, c#, i.e.
q ! q1a# $ q2b# $ q3c#!
Thus, the transformation (Q, q) is the inverse transformation of(P, p). Applying (Q, q) to the basis vectors a#, b#, c# and the originO#, the old basis vectors a, b, c with origin O are obtained.
For a two-dimensional transformation of a# and b#, someelements of Q are set as follows: Q33 ! 1 andQ13 ! Q23 ! Q31 ! Q32 ! 0.
The quantities which transform in the same way as the basisvectors a, b, c are called covariant quantities and are written as rowmatrices. They are:
the Miller indices of a plane (or a set of planes), (hkl), in directspace and
the coordinates of a point in reciprocal space, h, k, l.
Both are transformed by
%h#, k#, l#& ! %h, k, l&P!
Usually, the Miller indices are made relative prime before and afterthe transformation.
The quantities which are covariant with respect to the basisvectors a, b, c are contravariant with respect to the basis vectorsa', b', c' of reciprocal space.
The basis vectors of reciprocal space are written as a columnmatrix and their transformation is achieved by the matrix Q:

These transformation rules apply also to the quantities covariantwith respect to the basis vectors a', b', c' and contravariant withrespect to a, b, c, which are written as column matrices. They are theindices of a direction in direct space, [uvw], which are transformedby

In contrast to all quantities mentioned above, the components of aposition vector r or the coordinates of a point X in direct spacex, y, z depend also on the shift of the origin in direct space. Thegeneral (affine) transformation is given by

Example
If no shift of origin is applied, i.e. p! q! o, the position vectorr of point X is transformed by

#
$
&!
In this case, r ! r#, i.e. the position vector is invariant, althoughthe basis vectors and the components are transformed. For a pureshift of origin, i.e. P ! Q ! I , the transformed position vector r#becomes
r# ! %x $ q1&a $ %y $ q2&b $ %z $ q3&c! r $ q1a $ q2b $ q3c! %x " p1&a $ %y " p2&b $ %z " p3&c! r " p1a " p2b " p3c!
Here the transformed vector r# is no longer identical with r.
It is convenient to introduce the augmented %4 ( 4 & matrix !which is composed of the matrices Q and qin the following manner(cf. Chapter 8.1):
