What are Bravais Lattices?
Bravais Lattice refers to the 14 different 3-dimensional configurations into which atoms can be arranged in crystals. The smallest group of symmetrically aligned atoms which can be repeated in an array to make up the entire crystal is called a unit cell. There are several ways to describe a lattice. The most fundamental description is known as the Bravais lattice. In words, a Bravais lattice is an array of discrete points with an arrangement and orientation that look exactly the same from any of the discrete points, that is the lattice points are indistinguishable from one another. Out of 14 types of Bravais lattices some 7 types of Bravais lattices in three-dimensional space are listed in this subsection. Note that the letters a, b, and c have been used to denote the dimensions of the unit cells whereas the letters 𝛂, 𝞫, and 𝝲 denote the corresponding angles in the unit cells.
How to Calculate Volume of Hexagonal cell?
Volume of Hexagonal cell calculator uses Volume = (Lattice Constant a^2)*Lattice Constant c*0.866 to calculate the Volume, The Volume of Hexagonal cell formula is defined as the space occupied by a Hexagonal crystal lattice. Volume is denoted by VT symbol.
How to calculate Volume of Hexagonal cell using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Volume of Hexagonal cell, enter Lattice Constant a (alattice) & Lattice Constant c (c) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Volume of Hexagonal cell calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2.5E-27 = (1.4E-09^2)*1.5E-09*0.866.
