WHAT DOES TETRAGONAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

tetragonal

Tetragonal crystal system

In crystallography, the tetragonal crystal system is one of the 7 lattice point groups. Tetragonal crystal lattices result from stretching a cubic lattice along one of its lattice vectors, so that the cube becomes a rectangular prism with a square base and height. There are two tetragonal crystal structure types. Bravais lattices: the simple tetragonal and the centered tetragonal. One might suppose stretching face-centered cubic would result in face-centered tetragonal, but face-centered tetragonal is equivalent to body-centered tetragonal, BCT. BCT is considered more fundamental, so that is the standard terminology.

Definition of tetragonal in the English dictionary

The definition of tetragonal in the dictionary is Also: dimetric relating or belonging to the crystal system characterized by three mutually perpendicular axes of which only two are equal. Other definition of tetragonal is of, relating to, or shaped like a quadrilateral.
