NaCl is a crystal structure with a face centered cubic Bravais lattice and two atoms in the basis.
Crystal structure: NaCl
Bravais lattice: face centered cubic
Space group: 225 (F m -3 m), Strukturbericht: B1, Pearson symbol: cF8
Point group: m3m (Oh) six 2-fold rotations, four 3-fold rotations, three 4-fold rotations, nine mirror planes, inversion
Lattice constant: $a = 0.564 $ nm
Atomic density $n_{\text{atoms}}=8/a^3$
The lattice paramters of the conventional unit cell are:
\[ \begin{equation} a = b = c, \hspace{0.5cm} \alpha = 90^{\circ} , \,\beta = 90^{\circ} ,\,\gamma = 90^{\circ} . \end{equation} \]The primitive lattice vectors are,
$\vec{a}_1=\frac{a}{2}\hat{x}+\frac{a}{2}\hat{y}$, $\vec{a}_2=\frac{a}{2}\hat{x}+\frac{a}{2}\hat{z}$, $\vec{a}_3=\frac{a}{2}\hat{y}+\frac{a}{2}\hat{z}$.
There are two atoms in the basis. In fractional coordinates of the conventional unit, the positions of the two atoms are,
$\vec{B}_1=(0,0,0)$, $\vec{B}_2=(0.5,0,0)$.
