Space group?

[edit]

What does this mean? Fm35 is not one of the 230 space groups. Where are quasicrystal space groups described? quasicrystal says no translational symmetry. Should this be removed? Tom Ruen (talk) 05:15, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Space group: Fm35
Seems it is in the Am Min. article and the Mindat references. Other than that - simply don't know :) Vsmith (talk) 12:58, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It is mentioned in
  • Suck, J. B.; Schreiber, M.; Häussler, P. (2002). "5.4.1.1 Indexing of the Diffraction Pattern". Quasicrystals: An Introduction to Structure, Physical Properties and Applications. Springer. p. 94. ISBN 3-540-64224-2.
According to that it denotes the centrosymmetric space group of the F type Bravais hypercube lattice, ie a 6-dimensional Bravais lattice. -- Toshio Yamaguchi 13:35, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, thank! I'll have to learn more. Perhaps someone can add a Quasicrystal section to space group? Tom Ruen (talk) 18:51, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
