Results 1–8 of 8 for orthorhombic
base-centered orthorhombic lattice → bazno centrirana ortorompska rešetka
Base-centered or side-centered or end-centered monoclinic lattice (orthorhombic-C), like all lattices, has lattice points at the eight corners of the unit cell plus additional points at the centers of two parallel sides of the unit cell. It has unit cell vectors a≠b≠c and interaxial angles α=β=γ=90°.
body-centered orthorhombic lattice → prostorno centrirana ortorompska rešetka
Body-centered orthorhombic lattice (orthorhombic-I), like all lattices, has lattice points at the eight corners of the unit cell plus an additional points at the center of the cell. It has unit cell vectors a≠b≠c and interaxial angles α=β=γ=90°.
face-centered orthorhombic lattice → plošno centrirana ortorompska rešetka
Face-centered orthorhombic lattice (orthorhombic-F), like all lattices, has lattice points at the eight corners of the unit cell plus additional points at the centers of each face of the unit cell. It has unit cell vectors a≠b≠c and interaxial angles α=β=γ=90°.
orthorhombic crystal system → ortorompski kristalni sustav
Orthorhombic crystal system is also known as the rhombic system. Minerals of the orthorhombic crystal system are referred to three mutually perpendicular axes, each of which is of a different length than the others.

simple orthorhombic lattice → jednostavna ortorompska rešetka
Simple or primitive orthorhombic lattice (orthorhombic-P) has one lattice point at the each corner of the unit cell. It has unit cell vectors a≠b≠c and interaxial angles α=β=γ=90°.
Bravais lattice → Bravaisova rešetka
Bravais lattice is a set of points constructed by translating a single point in discrete steps by a set of basis vectors. The French crystallographer Auguste Bravais (1811-1863) established that in three-dimensional space only fourteen different lattices may be constructed. All crystalline materials recognised till now fit in one of these arrangements. The fourteen three-dimensional lattices, classified by crystal system, are shown to the bottom.

crystal system → kristalni sustav
Crystal system is a method of classifying crystalline substances on the basis of their unit cell. There are seven unique crystal systems. The simplest and most symmetric, the cubic (or isometric) system, has the symmetry of a cube. The other six systems, in order of decreasing symmetry, are hexagonal, tetragonal, rhombohedral (also known as trigonal), orthorhombic, monoclinic and triclinic.
