摘要

The basic structure unit of crystals is the lattice atom and its coordination environment.They are arranged periodically in certain combinations (e.g.space group) to form crystals.Generally speaking,the bonding interaction and electronic structure in the structure unit determine the intrinsic physical and chemical properties of crystals [1],similar to the key role of genes in life.
