GTSGOrderOfElement

GTSGOrderOfElement[element, basis]

gives the order of a space group element.

Details and Options

  • The order of a group element is defined by the smallest number with , where is the identity element of the group. In finite groups the order of a group element is also finite.
  • GTSGOrderOfElement is an extension of GTOrderOfElement for space group elements.
  • See: W. Hergert, M. Geilhufe, Group Theory in Solid State Physics and Photonics. Problem Solving with Mathematica, chapter 3.1.

Examples

  • We first specify the monoclinic basis vectors.
  • GTSGOrderOfElement also works for nonsymbolic input.
