The Symmetry and Packing Fraction of The Body Centered Tetragonal Structure
Abstract
It is shown that for different ratios of lattice parameters, c/a, the body centered tetragonal structure may be view as body centered tetragonal, body centered cubic, face centered cubic or hexagonal. This illustrates that the apparent symmetry of a lattice depends on the choice of the conventional unit cell.
