Notations for Positions of Atoms | Crystal Structure | Metallurgy

The positions of the atoms in a unit cell describe completely the crystal structure. It is useful to learn now certain rules and notations to describe geometry in and around a unit cell, such as describing lattice positions, lattice directions and planes, because certain planes and directions in metallic crystal structures play very important role in understanding the plastic deformation, [...]

Miller Indices of a Plane: Feature and Spacing | Engineering

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Concept of Miller Indices 2. Important Features of Miller Indices 3. Spacing of Planes 4. Relation between Interplanar Spacing 'd' and Cube Edge ‘a’.  Concept of Miller Indices: Miller indices is a system of notation of planes within a crystal of space lattice. They are based on the intercepts of plane with [...]
