B THE BRAVAIS LATTICE<br />

Figure 2.5. The cubic I lattice. (a) shows the repeat unit with points at coordinates (0,0,0) and<br />

(1/2,1/2,1/2). (b) The extended structure demonstrates that the cube center (1) and the vertices<br />

(2) have an identical eight-fold coordination environment. Thus, this configuration is a<br />

Bravais lattice.<br />

Figure 2.6. The cubic F lattice. (a) shows the conventional unit cell lattice with positions at<br />

coordinates (0,0,0), (1/2,1/2,0), (1/2,0,1/2), and (0,1/2,1/2). (b) A portion of the extended<br />

lattice shows that each lattice point has 12 nearest neighbors.<br />
