_twin_individual.twin_lattice_type

Name:
_twin_individual.twin_lattice_type

Alias:
_twin_individual_twin_lattice_type

Definition:

   

     Identification of the symmetry relationships between the
     twin lattices as described in International Tables
     for Crystallography (2004), Vol. C, Chapter 1.3.
     The twin with the identity matrix should be denoted as 'ref'.

Type: Code


The data value must be one of the following:


ref
reference twin

mt_I
merohedral class I (simple inversion)

mt_II
merohedral class II (mirror or twofold)

mt_I+II
class I and II simultaneously present

rmt
reticular merohedral

pmt
pseudo-merohedral

rpmt
reticular pseudo-merohedral

nmt
non-merohedral
