词条 | trigonal system |
释义 | trigonal system crystallography also called Rhombohedral System, one of the structural categories to which crystalline solids can be assigned. The trigonal system is sometimes considered to be a subdivision of the hexagonal system. Components of crystals in the trigonal system, like those of the hexagonal system, are located by reference to four axes—three of equal length with 120° intersections and one perpendicular to the plane of the other three. The trigonal unit cell is distinguished by the presence of a single line called an axis of three-fold symmetry about which the cell can be rotated by 120° to produce a face indistinguishable from the face presented in the starting position. Selenium and other elements may crystallize in trigonal form. |
