Abstract
It was shown in a previous paper [Eon (2004). Acta Cryst. A60, 7-18] that the topological density of a periodic net can be calculated directly from its cycles figure, a polytope constructed from those cycles of the quotient graph of the net that are associated with its geodesic lines. It may happen that these lines generate a grid pattern forming a supercell, a phenomenon that was not considered in the former derivation of the formula but is common for lattice nets. An adjustment of the expression is proposed to this effect and applied to the square and hexagonal lattice nets as well as to the 13 families of cubic lattice nets.
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section A: Foundations and Advances publishes articles reporting advances in the theory and practice of all areas of crystallography in the broadest sense. As well as traditional crystallography, this includes nanocrystals, metacrystals, amorphous materials, quasicrystals, synchrotron and XFEL studies, coherent scattering, diffraction imaging, time-resolved studies and the structure of strain and defects in materials.
The journal has two parts, a rapid-publication Advances section and the traditional Foundations section. Articles for the Advances section are of particularly high value and impact. They receive expedited treatment and may be highlighted by an accompanying scientific commentary article and a press release. Further details are given in the November 2013 Editorial.
The central themes of the journal are, on the one hand, experimental and theoretical studies of the properties and arrangements of atoms, ions and molecules in condensed matter, periodic, quasiperiodic or amorphous, ideal or real, and, on the other, the theoretical and experimental aspects of the various methods to determine these properties and arrangements.
