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 Rhombohedral cell?
Volume of Rhombohedral cell calculator uses Volume = (Lattice Constant a^3)*sqrt(1-(3*(cos(Lattice parameter alpha)^2))+(2*(cos(Lattice parameter alpha)^3))) to calculate the Volume, The Volume of Rhombohedral cell formula is defined as the space occupied by an Rhombohedral crystal lattice. Volume is denoted by VT symbol.
How to calculate Volume of Rhombohedral cell using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Volume of Rhombohedral cell, enter Lattice Constant a (alattice) & Lattice parameter alpha (α) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Volume of Rhombohedral cell calculation can be explained with given input values -> 6.1E-28 = (1.4E-09^3)*sqrt(1-(3*(cos(0.5235987755982)^2))+(2*(cos(0.5235987755982)^3))).
