The coincidence site lattices in 2D hexagonal lattices using Clifford algebra (Q2353181)

The coincidence site lattice is the intersection lattice that may exist if a lattice and its rotated image are superimposed with both origins in common. The authors characterize by means of an algorithm the coinincides lattices for hexagonal lattices in 2D. The idea is to compute rotations using Clifford algebra products as composition of two reflections. Earlier, \textit{S. Ranganathan} [``On the geometry of coincidence-site lattices'', Acta Cryst. A 21, 197 (1996)] has found a general expression for the coincidence indices in the case of cubic lattices and \textit{H. Grimmer} and \textit{D. H. Warrington} [``Fundamentals for the description of hexagonal lattices in general and in coincidence orientation'', Acta Cryst. A 43, 232--243 (1987l)] in the case of three-dimensional hexagonal. Their formulas are not algorithmic.
