Anatase is one of the three mineral forms of titanium dioxide (TiO2 ). Its space group is I41 /amd (No. 141). Its lattice parameters are a = b = 3.78 Å, and c = 9.54 Å. Ti atoms are located at positions with Wyckoff symbol 4b, and O atoms are located at positions with Wyckoff symbol 8e with z = 0.17. Identify the Bravais lattice type of this crystal structure. How many lattice point(s) are there in one conventional unit cell? How many Ti atoms and how many O atoms are there in one conventional unit cell? Write down the relative coordinates for all O atoms belonging to one conventional unit cell. In this crystal, how many symmetry-equivalent crystallographic directions belong to the <112> family? Write down all of them. Calculate the length of a crystallographic vector [112] in this crystal.
