Crystal Planes
Planes in a crystal are described by notations called Miller
indices.

the reciprocal of the intercepts of the plane on the three
axes.

indices
)h = 1/1 = 1, k = 1/ ∞ = 0, l = 1/∞ = 0. It is written as (hkl)

Planes having similar indices are equivalent, e.g. faces


of the cube (100), (010) and (001). This is termed as a
family of planes and denoted as {100} which includes
.all the (100) combinations including negative indices
Some other equivalent planes are shown in the next
.slide

To determine a direction of a line in the crystal


the coordinates of the two ends of the line and
subtract the coordinates (Head – Tail) OR draw a line
from the origin parallel to the line and find its
projection lengths on x, y and z axis in terms of the
.unit vectors a, b and c
if any, in to integers and reduce
to lowest term
