A screw axis is a concept in the field of crystallography and molecular symmetry that describes a particular type of symmetry operation. It refers to a combination of a rotation and a translation along the same axis. The screw axis is commonly denoted using a notation that combines a number (indicating the degree of rotation) and a fraction (indicating the translational component).
