Pearson symbol
The Pearson symbol, or Pearson notation, is used in crystallography as a means of describing a crystal structure.[1] It was originated by W. B. Pearson and is used extensively in Peason's handbook of crystallographic data for intermetallic phases.[2] The symbol is made up of two letters followed by a number. For example:
- ^ W. B. Pearson, "A Handbook of Lattice Spacings and Structures of Metals and Alloys", Vol. 2, Pergamon Press, Oxford, 1967.
- ^ Villars, Pierre (1997). Pearson's handbook: crystallographic data for intermetallic phases (Desk ed.). Materials Park, Ohio: ASM. ISBN 978-0-87170-603-4.
