Bravais Lattice

In 1850, Bravais demonstrated that crystals were comprised of 14 different types of unit cells: simple cubic, body-centered cubic, face-centered cubic; simple tetragonal, body-centered tetragonal; simple monoclinic, end-centered monoclinic; simple orthorhombic, body-centered orthorhombic, face-centered orthorhombic, end-centered orthorhombic; rhombohedral; hexagonal; and triclinic.
