Point group consists of symmetry operations in
which at least one point remains fixed and
unchanged in space. The symmetry operations,
constituting point group, can be proper symmetry
if it doesnt alter the handedness of the object
being operated otherwise it is referred to as
improper symmetry it is changes the handedness
of the object.
Space group comprises of both translational and
rotational symmetry operations of a crystal.
Each of the Bravais lattice is characterized with a
set of symmetry properties, which help in
understanding the underlying periodicity in lattice.
The various symmetries are discussed below:

Screw Axis: A kind of hybrid symmetry is generated
by combining proper improper rotation with
translation parallel to the axis of rotation. The
combination of two operations is equivalent to a
screw motion which is shown for 3 1 screw axis in

X-RAY DIFFRACTION
intensity is mostly concentrated in central maxima
11.1 Introduction
When light passes through a fine aperture and falls
on a screen, it is observed that an interference
pattern is observed. This pattern is in the form of
central bright spot which represents the image of the
aperture and alternate dark and bright annular rings
of rapidly falling intensity. Such a pattern depicting
modification of light intensity distribution on passing
through an aperture is called diffraction and is
observed only if the size of aperture is comparable to
