Full Hermann-Mauguin symbol in old notation (property)

This page documents an OPTIMADE Property Definition. See https://schemas.optimade.org/ for more information.

ID: https://schemas.anyterial.se/defs/v0.1/properties/spacegroups/hm_full_old
Definition name: hm_full_old

Property name: Full Hermann-Mauguin symbol in old notation
Description: The older full Hermann-Mauguin symbol retained as an alias for symbols superseded by newer e-glide notation.
Type: string

Hermann-Mauguin symbols describe crystallographic space groups using lattice-centering symbols and symmetry-element symbols. The setting-specific fields describe the concrete Hall/International Tables setting of the current record. The *_std fields describe the IT-standard setting for the space-group type and can therefore be identical across multiple settings with the same IT number.

Requirements/Conventions:

Formats: [JSON] [MD]
