A Unified Determination of the Characteristics of Cubic Lattices

Abstract

Houari A and Alkahtani EA

The purpose of this article is to develop a unified algorithmic approach for determining the characteristics of cubic lattices. For this, we will establish here the correlations between these characteristics and show that they can be expressed in terms of only two independent parameters, namely, the coordination number and the lattice constant. The main utility of the present approach consists in generating automatically the whole set of the characteristics of cubic lattices.
