Please note

The information given in this document reflects the conventions used in SgInfo Version 1.01 as released in 1996. There are subtle differences compared to International Tables for Crystallography Volume B (ITVB), 2001, pp. 112-119. The unusual lattice symbol S in Table 1 below was dropped in ITVB, and some Hall symbols in Table 6 below were replaced with equivalent alternatives.

Hall Symbols

The explicit-origin space group notation proposed by Hall (1981) [1], [2] is based on the minimum number of symmetry operations, in the form of Seitz matrices, needed to uniquely define a space group. The concise unambiguous nature of this notation makes it well suited to handling symmetry in computing and database applications.

The notation has the general form:

             L [NAT]1 ... [NAT]p V

where L is the symbol specifying the lattice translational symmetry (see Table 1), NAT identifies the 4x4 Seitz matrix of a symmetry element in the minimum set which defines the space-group symmetry (see Tables 2 3, 4, and 5), and p is the number of elements in the set. V is a translation vector which shifts the origin of the generator matrices by fractions of the unit cell lengths ab and c.

The matrix symbol NAT is composed of three parts:

Table 6 lists space group notation in several formats. The computer-entry representation of the Hall symbols is listed in column 3. The computer-entry format is the general notation expressed as case insensitive ASCII characters, with the overline (bar) symbol replaced by a minus sign. Column 1 of Table 6 contains the space-group number with an appended code which identifies the non-standard settings. Column 2 contains the full Hermann-Mauguin symbols in computer-entry format with appended codes which identify the origin and cell choice when there are alternatives.

The computer-entry format of the Hall notation contains the rotation-order symbol N as positive integers 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 for proper rotations and a negative integers -1, -2, -3, -4 or -6 for improper rotations. The T translation symbols 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, a, b, c, n, u, v, w, d are described in Table 2. These translations apply additively (e.g. ad signifies a (3/4,1/4,1/4)) translation).
The A axis symbols x, y, z denote rotations about the axes a, b, c, respectively (see Table 3). The axis symbols " and ' signal rotations about the body-diagonal vectors a+b (or alternatively b+c or c+a) and a-b (or alternatively b-c or c-a) (see Table 4). The axis symbol * always refers to a 3-fold rotation along a+b+c (see Table 5).
The origin-shift translation vector V has the construction (va vb vc), where va, vb and vc denote the shifts in 12ths parallel to the cell edges a, b and c, respectively. va/12, vb/12 and vc/12 are the coordinates of the unshifted origin in the shifted basis system. The shifted Seitz matrices Sn' are derived from the unshifted matrices Sn with the transformation

                  (1 0 0 va/12)        (1 0 0 -va/12)
            Sn' = (0 1 0 vb/12) * Sn * (0 1 0 -vb/12)
                  (0 0 1 vc/12)        (0 0 1 -vc/12)
                  (0 0 0   1  )        (0 0 0    1  )

Default axes

For most Hall symbols the rotation axes applicable to each N are implied and an explicit axis symbol A is not needed. The rules for default axis directions are:

  1. the first rotation has an axis direction of c
  2. the second rotation (if N is 2) has an axis direction of
  3. the third rotation (N is always 3) has an axis direction of

Example matrices

Here are several simple examples of how NAT symbols expand to Seitz matrices.

  1. The notation -2xc represents an improper 2-fold rotation along a and a c/2 translation:
                           (-1  0  0   0 )
                    -2xc = ( 0  1  0   0 )
                           ( 0  0  1  1/2)
                           ( 0  0  0   1 )
    
  2. The notation 3* represents a 3-fold rotation along a+b+c:
                           ( 0  0  1   0 )
                      3* = ( 1  0  0   0 )
                           ( 0  1  0   0 )
                           ( 0  0  0   1 )
    
  3. The notation 4vw represents a 4-fold rotation along c (implied) and translation of b/4 and c/4:
                           ( 0 -1  0   0 )
                     4vw = ( 1  0  0  1/4)
                           ( 0  0  1  1/4)
                           ( 0  0  0   1 )
    
  4. The notation 61 2 (0 0 -1) represents a 61 screw along c and a 2-fold rotation along a-b. The translation component 5/6 of the second matrix is the result of the origin shift of -c/12:
                           ( 1 -1  0   0 )  ( 0 -1  0   0 )
           61 2 (0 0 -1) = ( 1  0  0   0 )  (-1  0  0   0 )
                           ( 0  0  1  1/6)  ( 0  0 -1  5/6)
                           ( 0  0  0   1 )  ( 0  0  0   1 )
    

Table 1. Lattice Symbol L

The lattice symbol L specifies one or more Seitz matrices which are needed to generate the space-group symmetry elements. For noncentrosymmetric lattices the rotation matrices are for 1 (see Table 3). For centrosymmetric lattices the lattice symbols are preceded by a minus sign `-', rotations are 1 and -1, and the total number of generator matrices implied by each symbol is twice the number of implied lattice translations.

F 4 (0,0,0), (0,1/2,1/2), (1/2,0,1/2), (1/2,1/2,0)

The unusual lattice symbols S and T are necessary to allow for obverse and reverse settings for all of 3x, 3y, and 3z, respectively. Table 1.1. summarizes the relationsships.

Table 2. Translation symbol T

The symbol T specifies the translation elements of a Seitz matrix. Alphabetical symbols (column 1 below) specify translations along a fixed direction. Numerical symbols (column 3 below) specify translations as a fraction of the rotation order N, and in the direction of the implied or explicitly defined axis.

Table 4. Rotation matrices for face-diagonal axes

The symbols for face-diagonal 2-fold rotations are 2' and 2". The face-diagonal axis direction is determined by the axis of the preceding rotation Nx, Ny or Nz. Note that the single quote symbol ' is the default and may be omitted.
