2 2 / 40 Definition While constructing the stereographic projection we saw that the angle between planes could be also measured as the angles between the corresponding normal.

3 3 / 40 Definition We can add metric information to the normals by asociating the norm of the vector somehow to the interplanar distance.

4 3 / 40 Definition We can add metric information to the normals by asociating the norm of the vector somehow to the interplanar distance. The reciprocal vector r hkl is defined as a vector normal to plane (hkl) with length 1/d hkl

5 4 / 40 Definition r hkl ˆ n hkl r hkl = 1 d hkl

6 5 / 40 Equation of a plane (u, 0, 0) (0, v, 0) (0, 0, w) u = u a v = v b w = w c

11 Equation of a plane vwx( b c) a + uwy( c a) b + uvz( a b) c = uvw( b c) a [ ] [ ] [ x b c u a ( a + y c a b c) v a ( b + z a ] b b c) w a ( c = 1 b c) a = b c a ( b c) b c a = a ( b c) c = a b a ( b c) 8 / 40

12 9 / 40 Equation of a plane a = b c a ( b c) b c a = a ( b c) c = a b a ( b c) a a = 1 a b = 0 a c = 0 b a = 0 b b = 1 b b = 0 c a = 0 c b = 0 c b = 1

13 10 / 40 Equation of a plane [ ] [ ] [ x b c u a ( a + y c a b c) v a ( b + z a ] b b c) w a ( c = 1 b c)

14 10 / 40 Equation of a plane [ ] [ ] [ x b c u a ( a + y c a b c) v a ( b + z a ] b b c) w a ( c = 1 b c) (x a) (h a ) + (y b) (k b ) + (z c) (l c ) = 1 Equation of the plane hx + ky + lz = 1

15 11 / 40 Some history Gibbs ( ) Gibbs introduced the reciprocal base { a j } from the condition a i a j =K δ ij

16 12 / 40 Reciprocal vector (x a) (h a ) + (y b) (k b ) + (z c) (l c ) = 1 can be written as where hx + ky + lz = 1 r xyz r hkl = 1 r hkl = h a + k b + l c if r hkl ˆ n hkl r hkl = 1 d hkl

17 13 / 40 Reciprocal vector r hkl ( r p r hkl ) = 0 p r hkl 2 = r r hkl = 1 Now by construction p = 1 r hkl 2 p r hkl = d hkl r hkl = 1 d hkl
