5) Triclinic lattices: a1 a2 a3 and 2
6) Hexagonal lattices: a1 a2 a3 , 2 and 2 3
The base of a primitive unit cell is a 60 rhombus and the sides are
rectangles perpendicular to the base.
7) Trigonal lattices: a1 a2 a3 and 2
This is a distorted cubic unit cell along a body diagonal so that the
cube edge move towards or a way from the diagonal.
