Preferred term

Orthorhombic  

Definition

  • 1. One of the structural categories systems to which crystalline solids can be assigned. Crystals in this system are referred to three mutually perpendicular axes that are unequal in length. (Britannica). 2. Orthorhombic lattices result from stretching a cubic lattice along two of its orthogonal pairs by two different factors, resulting in a rectangular prism with a rectangular base (a by b) and height (c), such that a, b, and c are distinct. All three bases intersect at 90° angles, so the three lattice vectors remain mutually orthogonal. (Wikipedia). 3. A system of crystallization characterized by three unequal axes at right angles to each other (Merriam-Webster dictionary).
