Definition
An arithmetic crystal class with matrix group of lattices is called a Bravais arithmetic crystal class.
Each lattice is associated with a Bravais arithmetic class, and each matrix group of a Bravais arithmetic class represents the point group of a lattice referred to an appropriate primitive basis.
There exist 5 Bravais arithmetic classes in two dimensions:
- 2p
- 2mmp
- 2mmc
- 4mmp
- 6mmh
There exist 14 Bravais arithmetic classes in three dimensions:
- [math]{\bar 1}[/math]P
- 2/mP
- 2/mS
- mmmP
- mmmS
- mmmI
- mmmF
- 4/mmmP
- 4/mmmI
- [math]{\bar 3}[/math]mR
- 6/mmmP
- m[math]{\bar 3}[/math]mP
- m[math]{\bar 3}[/math]mI
- m[math]{\bar 3}[/math]mF
