Unit cell a The smallest group of particles in the material that constitutes the repeating pattern is the unit cell of the structure.The unit cell completely defines the symmetry and structure of the entire crystal lattice,which is built up by repetitive translation of the unit cell along its principal axes

Rotation symmetry I-Fold Rotation Axis -An object that requires rotation of a full 3600 in order to restore it to its original appearance has no rotational symmetry. Since it repeats itself 1 time every 3600 it is said to have a 1-fold axis of rotational symmetry. 2-fold Rotation Axis If an object appears identical after a rotation of180°，that is twice in a360° rotation,then it is said to have a 2-fold rotation axis (360/180 = 2).Note that in these examples the axes we are referring to are imaginary lines that extend toward you perpendicular to the page or blackboard.A filled oval shape represents the point where the 2- fold rotation axis intersects the page
7 Rotation symmetry
3-Fold Rotation Axis-Objects that repeat themselves upon rotation of 1200 are said to have a 3-fold axis of rotational symmetry (360/120 =3),and they will repeat 3 3 3 times in a 3600 rotation. A filled triangle is used to symbolize the location of 3-fold rotation axis. 4-Fold Rotation Axis -If an object ◆ repeats itself after 900 of rotation,it will repeat 4 times in a 3600 rotation,as illustrated previously.A filled square is used to symbolize the location of 4- fold axis of rotational symmetry. 6-Fold Rotation Axis-If rotation of 600 about an axis causes the object to repeat itself,then it has 6-fold axis 6 6 ● of rotational symmetry (360/60=6). A filled hexagon is used as the symbol for a 6-fold rotation axis
