The authors (85) have also mentioned the deformational vibrations (7) of the out-of-plane group -CH= of a pentatomic heterocyclic nucleus, showing that there exists a relationship between the absorption frequencies of this group and the electronegativity of the heteroatom (86). 

In Fig. 6-7, similar procedures are followed for the metal d orbitals. The 42 2orbital-symmetry matches with the in-plane group combination ((Ji-02+molecular orbitals described in Eq. (6-13). 

Taylor et al. [156] suggested that the crystals belong to the two-sided plane group C12, in which there are four ATPase molecules per unit cell of 9 113 A, with ATPase dimers related by a two-fold rotational axis within the membrane plane parallel to the b cell axis. While the arrangement of ATPase molecules was highly ordered within... 

Fedorov also derived the 17 two-dimensional plane groups but their best-known presentation is by George Polya who illustrated them with patterns that eompletely fill the surfaee without gaps or overlaps. Today we would eall them Eseher-like patterns. ... 

Electron diffraction study indicates that the unit cell is orthorhombic with lattice parameters a = 3.85 A, b = 3.86 A and c = 11.5 A. The [010] plane group of the crystal is pImm [30]. 

Each symmetry has a unique set of phase relations and phase restrictions. Thus, the phase residuals calculated for an image will be different for different symmetries. Once the phase residuals for each of the 17 plane group symmetries have been calculated, the projected s mimetry (plane group) of the crystal can be deduced by comparing these phase residuals. Usually the symmetry with the lowest phase residual is the correct symmetry. If phase residuals for several plane groups are similar, the highest symmetry is normally chosen. 

In the plane group pgg phase restrictions and phase relations for all reflections (once the origin has been shifted to a point with the same relation to the s mimetry element in the unit cell as specified in the Int. Table for Crystallography) are all phases have to be 0° or 180° and phases of all... 

Space or plane group determination. There can be ambiguities here especially if data are limited in their sampling of reciprocal space. In this case all the possibilities need to be explored with respect to solution and refinement procedures. 

Fig. 5.5. Geometrical structure of a close-packed metal surface. Left, the second-layer atoms (circles) and third-layer atoms (small dots) have little influence on the surface charge density, which is dominated by the top-layer atoms (large dots). The top layer exhibits sixfold symmetry, which is invariant with respect to the plane group p6mm (that is, point group Q, together with the translational symmetry.). Right, the corresponding surface Brillouin zone. The lowest nontrivial Fourier components of the LDOS arise from Bloch functions near the T and K points. (The symbols for plane groups are explained in Appendix E.)...

The symbols for plane groups, the Hermann-Mauguin symbol, have been the standard in crystallography. The first place indicates the type of lattice, p indicates primitive, and c indicates centered. The second place indicates the axial symmetry, which has only 5 possible vales, 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 6-fold. For the rest, the letter m indicates a symmetry under a mirror reflection, and the letter g indicates a symmetry with respect to a glide line, that is, one-half of the unit vector translation followed by a mirror reflection. For example, the plane group pAmm means that the surface has fourfold symmetry as well as mirror reflection symmetries through both x and y axes. 

The 17 plane groups are not mutually unrelated. Some of them are subgroups of other plane groups, as shown in Fig. E.l. The order of the factor group, that is, the number of different symmetry operations other than translational symmetry, is also shown for each plane group. 

Fig. E.l. Relations among plane groups. In this figure, the plane groups are shown in their degrees of symmetry, as indicated by the order of the factor groups. A plane group with high symmetry always has one or several subgroup(s). The chart shows such relations within the same lattice.

The quantity Qx z) is the corrugation amplitude of the quantity Q(r) with fi(x,y) describing the way it varies with x and y. In the following, we will derive and list explicitly the invariant functions for several important plane groups.
