[110]

Reason (i): Type [110] does not equal to [010] , but these directions are crystallographic equivalent.Reason (ii): z axis is [001], crystallographically distinct from [100] and [010]. (This is not a reason!)

Miller indces

If crystal planes in hexagonal systems are indexed using Miller indices, then crystallographically equivalent planes have indices which appear dissimilar. Þ the Miller-Bravais indexing system (specific for hexagonal system)

2-5 Two convections used in stereographic projection

(1) plot directions as poles and planes as great circles

(2) plot planes as poles and directions as great circles

2-5-1 find angle between two directions

(a) find a great circle going through them(b) measure angle by Wulff net

Meridians: great circle

Parallels except theequator are small circles

Equal anglewith respectto N or S pole

Measure the anglebetween two points:

Bring these two points onthe same great circle; counting the latitude angle.

(i) If two poles up

(ii) If one pole up, one pole down

2-5-2 measuring the angle between planes This is equivalent to measuring angle between poles

Pole and trace

Angle between the planes of two zone circles is the anglebetween the poles of the corresponding

use of stereographic projections(i) plot directions as poles

---- used to measure angle between directions

---- use to establish if direction lie in a particular plane

(ii) plot planes as poles---- used to measure angles between

planes---- used to find if planes lies in the

same zone
