This image is wrong
[edit]@Jarvisa @Reex8
Hi, I know nothing of editing SVG files, so I would like to share there is an error in this image. The distance from one basis atom to the other basis atom is not a/4, but rather the sqrt[(a/4)^2 + (a/4)^2 + (a/4)^2] = a sqrt(3)/4
.
The mistake makes sense, since the vector representation of this distance is v = a/4 (x hat + y hat + z hat)
, but that vector's magnitude is not a/4.
