planes is the d-spacing
Need to label planes to be able to identify them

Plane perpendicular to y cuts at , 1, (0 1 0) plane
General label is (h k l) which intersects at a/h, b/k, c/l
(hkl) is the MILLER INDEX of that plane (round brackets, no commas).
This diagonal cuts at 1, 1, (1 1 0) plane
NB an index 0 means that the plane is parallel to that axis

Planes - conclusions 1
• Miller indices define the orientation of the plane within the unit cell
• The Miller Index defines a set of planes parallel to one another (remember the unit cell is a subset of the “infinite” crystal
• (002) planes are parallel to (001) planes, and so on

Diffraction - an optical grating
XY

a
Coherent incident light Diffracted light
Path difference XY between diffracted beams 1 and 2:
sin = XY/a
XY = a sin
For 1 and 2 to be in phase and give constructive interference, XY = , 2, 3, 4…..n
so a sin = n where n is the order of diffraction
![Page 14: Index Miller Xrd](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081720/54579a70b1af9f0b318b4aa3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Consequences: maximum value of for diffraction
sin = 1 a =
Realistically, sin <1 a >
So separation must be same order as, but greater than, wavelength of light.
Thus for diffraction from crystals:
Interatomic distances 0.1 - 2 Å
so = 0.1 - 2 Å
X-rays, electrons, neutrons suitable

We normally set n=1 and adjust Miller indices, to give
2dhkl sin =
2d sin = n
e.g. X-rays with wavelength 1.54Å are reflected from planes with d=1.2Å. Calculate the Bragg angle, , for constructive interference.

Example of equivalence of the two forms of Bragg’s law:

n=4, =38.02o
n=5, =50.35o
n=6, =67.52o
no reflection for n7

n=1, =17.93o
n=2, =38.02o
n=3, =67.52o
no reflection for n4

SummarySummary We can imagine planes within a crystal
Each set of planes is uniquely identified by its Miller index (h k l)
We can calculate the separation, d, for each set of planes (h k l)
Crystals diffract radiation of a similar order of wavelength to the interatomic spacings
We model this diffraction by considering the “reflection” of radiation from planes - Bragg’s Law
