Group theoretical computations in mathematical crystallography

Published: 01 November 1976 Publication History

Abstract

Crystallographic structures have in the past mainly been studied by geometric means. A first algebraic algorithm for the determination of space groups was formulated by Zassenhaus in 1948. However, only the possibility to use computers have made possible the reliable and efficient use of such algorithms. It will be described how group theoretical systems as well as the implementations of special algorithms have been used to obtain a complete classification of 4-dimensional crystallographic structures as well as more detailed information about the "classical" 3-dimensional crystallography.
