Translational symmetry operations include:
Screw axis - Labeled “Nm”, indicating a rotation of 360°/N and a
translation of m/N of a unit cell length. Shown below is a 2-fold screw axis (21)
in which each element is rotated 180° about an axis and translated ½ of a unit cell
length in a direction parallel to the rotation axis (the view in the left figure is perpendicular to
the rotation axis; the right view is parallel to the axis):
