    Miller indices

    Introduction
    • Atoms are arranged in certain repeated
    manner in crystalline crystal.
    • The layers of atoms or the planes along which
    atoms re arranged are known as atomic or
    crystallographic planes.
    • Miller indices is a system of notation to
    denote crystallographic planes and directions.
    • Crystal structure is determined by the XRD ( X
    – Ray diffraction)
    Miller indices
    • It is necessary to use some notation to specify
    directions and planes in a crystal.
    • It is the vector components of the direction
    resolved along each of the crystallographic
    and the reciprocal of the intercepts made by
    the plane on the crystallographic axes of the
    unit cell of the crystal when reduced to
    smallest numbers respectively.
    Determination of Miller Indices
    (denoted by hkl):
    • Determine the intercepts along the
    crystallographic axes, in terms of unit cell
    dimensions
    • Take the reciprocals
    • Clear fractions
    • Reduce to lowest terms
    Example
    • if the x-, y-, and z- intercepts are 3, 1, and 2,
    the Miller indices are calculated as:
    • Take reciprocals: 1/3, 1/1, 1/2
    • Clear fractions (multiply by 6): 3, 6, 2
    • Reduce to lowest terms
    Representation of crystal planes and
    the corresponding miller indices
    Features
    • A plane which is parallel to any one of the coordinate axes has an
    intercept of infinity and therefore, Miller index for that is zero.
    • All equally spaced parallel planes with a particular orientation have
    same index number (h k l).
    • Miller indices do not only define particular plane but set of parallel
    planes.
    • All parallel equidistant planes have the same Miller indices.
    • A plane parallel to one of the coordinate axes has an intercept of
    infinity.
    • If the Miller indices of two planes have same ratio such as (844),
    (422) and (211), then these planes are said to be parallel to each
    other. Therefore, all equally spaced parallel planes with the same
    orientation have same Miller indices such as [h k l].
    • The crystal directions of a family are not necessarily parallel to one
    another. Similarly, not all members of a family of planes are parallel
    to one another.
    • The normal to the plane with indices (h k l) is the direction of [h k l].
    • Draw planes with miller indices given by (110)
    and (111) in a cubic cell. Find directions
    common to both.
    • Determine the interplaner spacing between
    (200), (220) and (111) plane in a FCC o
    structure. Take atomic radius as 1.246 A .
    Linear density
    • Number of effective atoms (Nel) per unit
    length present on certain length ‘L’ along any
    direction in a unit cell.

    L 
    L
    • Find the linear density in direction [110] in a
    FCC unit cell.

    o
    • Lattice constant of a copper unit cell is 3.61 A .
    Determine the linear density along directions
    [110] and [111].
    Planar density in a unit cell
    • The number of atoms per unit area of a crystal
    plane is known as planar density.
    • It expresses the packing of atoms in a plane of
    unit cell.
    • The rate of plastic deformation is significantly
    influenced by planar density.

    • Find the planar density of simple cubic planes
    of (100), (110) and (111).
