MCG 2360 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Miller Index, Zone Axis, Cross Product
Document Summary
Lecture 2: crystallographic miller indices of directions and planes. Put in square brackets, [u v w], where u, v, and w are integers. Multiply or divide by a common factor to obtain smallest integer values. Put in square brackets, [u v w] where u, v, and w are integers along x,y,z. End point: a direction and its negative are not identical a direction and its multiple are identical. 4. select origin determine length of vector in each axes multiply or divide to reduce to smallest integer values enclose in square brackets. It"s necessary to do this because metals deform along planes of atoms that are most tightly packed together, so it"s useful for us to be able to identify the plane that they deform along. Enclose the 3 numbers in round brackets to represent the plane. Zone axis, zone law axis of the 2 planes. To calculate this line, take the cross product of the direction vectors of.
