Do parallel planes have the same Miller Indices?
As of the question, the miller indices of two parallel planes in a crystal are the same because they are equally spaced parallel planes, so therefore the miller indices of equally spaced parallel planes are the same.
What are the Miller Indices of the indicated crystallographic plane?
Miller Indices are a symbolic vector representation for the orientation of an atomic plane in a crystal lattice and are defined as the reciprocals of the fractional intercepts which the plane makes with the crystallographic axes.
Does Miller Indices uniquely identify a plane?
The application of a set of rules leads to the assignment of the Miller Indices (hkl), which are a set of numbers which quantify the intercepts and thus may be used to uniquely identify the plane or surface.
What is a crystallographic plane?
i. Any set of parallel and equally spaced planes that may be supposed to pass through the centers of atoms in crystals.
When a crystal plane is parallel to any crystallographic axis then Miller index for that axis is?
If a Miller index is zero, then it indicates that the given plane is parallel to that axis.
What are the distinct features of Miller indices?
Important Features of Miller Indices:
- A plane which is parallel to any one of the co-ordinate axes has an intercept of infinity (∞) and therefore, the Miller index for that axis is zero.
- All equally spaced parallel planes with a particular orientation have same index number (h k I).
When the plane is parallel to any crystallographic axis its Miller index for that axis is?
If a plane is parallel to one of the axes, then it is considered to intersect it at infinity, so the corresponding index is 1/∞, or zero.
How are crystallographic points directions and planes specified?
Indices of crystallographic points, directions, and planes are given in terms of the lattice constants of the unit cell. For points and directions, you can consider the indices to be coefficients of the lattice constants. Remember that you only need to invert the indices for planes.
