Figure 3
The reciprocal lattices of cP, cI and cF. (a) cP* ↔ ↔ . (b) cI* ↔ . (c) cF* ↔ . The equally drawn reciprocal unit cells for P
*, I
* and F
* are red in (a) but dark grey in (b) and (c). I
* and F
* have an incomplete occupation of the corners with reciprocal-lattice points. Therefore, the reciprocal-lattice point arrangement appears like a face-centred lattice for I
* in panel (b) but like a body-centred lattice for cF
* in panel (c). The red frame represents in each panel the primitive cell, which is rhombohedral in (b) and (c). The hexagonal cell (green) results in a primitive superlattice when the red centred reciprocal-lattice points have not been discovered by Kikuchi bands. |
