A [[unit cell|cell]] C' obtained from a cell C by adding one or more translation vectors of fractional periodicity in C is called a '''subcell''' of C. The translation [[subgroup]] '''T'''' of the lattice '''L'''' built on C' is a [[supergroup]] of the translation subgroup '''T''' of the lattice '''L''' built on C and corresponds therefore to a [[superlattice]] of '''L'''.
