A1.6 Stereograpbic Projection

Although other methods of projection of the three-


dimensional crystal into two dimensions exist, the
stereographic projection is the most common way
of describing crystals. This is because the projection
X preserves angular truth. The advantage of working
(b)
with the stereographic projection lies in the ease
and rapidity of performing those crystallographic
z analyses necessary in the electron microscope.
Imagine a crystal at the centre of a sphere, see
figure A1.4, with plane normals drawn from the
centre of the sphere to its surface. In figure Al.5,
one of these plane normals P is shown projected
into the equatorial plane about the south pole of
the sphere. Normally only those planes above the
equator are projected. For planes underneath, the
north pole is used as the projection point, indicated
by open circles in the projection. The stereographic
projection of the cubic crystal in figure A1.4 with
[001] parallel to the south-north direction SN and
[010] parallel to OD, is shown in figure A1.6,

particular plane.

Figure A4.2 Single-crystal spot transmission electron diffraction patterns for the b.c.c. crystal structure (u 2 + v2 + w2 ~ 22). The zone axis z, defined in appendix 1, is the beam direction B,
defined in section 2.7.2, as indicated. The crosses in one quadrant ofthe diagram indicate the positions of the spots for the ordered b.c.c. (B2 ) unit cell. The complete pattern may be generated by
repeating these spots in the remainder of the pattern and indexing using the addition of vectors, see section 2. 7.2.1

KIKUCHI MAPS
As described in section 2.7.3.3, a Kikuchi map useful in a number of instances, sections 2.8.1 ,
consists of the distribution of Kikuchi lines within 2.10.1 , 2.11.2, 2.14.2. Typical maps for f.c.c., b.c.c.
the unit stereographic triangle. It is extremely and c.p.h. crystal structures are shown in

the specimen to sample B, for example [001], specific reflections as outlined in section 2.10.1 so

Note. ( ) = interpolation or extrapolation. Values at (sin 0)/). = 0 not in brackets are calculated. Some reasons for the large differences,
particularly at low scattering angles, between data common to Tables A8.1 and A8.2 are discussed by Ibers (1957). The values are
based on the rest mass of the electron. For electrons of energy E, multiply by mfm 0 = { 1 - (v/c) 2 } - 112 •
