Hi! I'm new to these forums.
To get right to it, My head'z been spinning wondering ..
Is there a high symmetry point in a crystal about which *all* point operations can be re-centered? I can show this for a simple lattice.
Does anyone know if this is true for any complex crystal as well? And maybe how to show it? I'm asking because I want to write a program that sets the origin of coordinates at such a point and then tests all 48 possible operations about it. I know some good candidates would be at the atom centers and the midpoint between atoms.
Any knowledge/suggestions is appreciated. Thanks.
