Symmetry operations in solid state physics
It is an operation that transfer the crystal to itself is known as symmetry operation. This is four types 1. Rotational 2. Translational 3. Reflection 4. Conversion Rotational symmetry operation.
There are two types of rotational symmetry operation . In proper rotation move an object, but do not change the handeness of the object.
In improper rotation include a proper rotation as well as a component that inverts the handeness of the object.
An n fold proper rotation operation represented a counter clockwise movement of (360/n) around an axis through the object. If n fold rotation operation is present n times, then the object returns to its original position.
