Tetragonal System

Axial Lengths

a=2.46, b=2.46, c=3.69

Axial Angles

α=90°, β=90°, γ=90°

Overview

The tetragonal crystal system results from stretching a cubic lattice along one of its vectors, so that the cube becomes a rectangular prism with a square base. Lattice parameters: $a = b \neq c$, and angles $\alpha = \beta = \gamma = 90^\circ$. Examples: White Tin, Rutile (TiO$_2$).
