This knowledge is crucial in the tailored design of materials for specific applications across electronics, photonics and materials engineering. However, there are materials that have the property of being periodic only in one direction and whose symmetry cannot be described by the subperiodic rod groups. Describing the symmetry of these materials necessitates the application of line group theory. This paper gives an overview of subperiodic groups while briefly introducing line groups in order to acquaint the crystallographic community with these symmetries and direct them to pertinent literature. Since line groups are generally not subperiodic, they have thus far remained outside the realm of symmetries traditionally considered in crystal lography, although there are numerous ‘one-dimensional’ crystals (i.e. mono periodic structures) possessing line group symmetry. |
