2.10: Summary

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Miller Indices are the convention used to label lattice planes. This mathematical description allows us to define accurately, planes within a crystal, and quantitatively analyse many problems in materials science.

[1] D. McKie and C. McKie, Crystalline Solids , Thomas Nelson and Sons, 1974.

A very comprehensive crystallography text.

[2] C. Hammond, The Basics of Crystallography and Diffraction , Oxford, 2001.

Chapter 5 covers lattice planes and directions. The rest of the book gives an introduction to crystallography and diffraction in general.

[3] B.D. Cullity, Elements of X-Ray Diffraction , Prentice Hall, 2003.

Covers X-Ray diffraction in detail. Chapter 2 covers the crystallography required for this.
