    Solutions for HW 3

    1.Within a cubic unit cell, sketch the following directions:


    (a) [1 10]

    (b) [1 2 1]

    (c) [01 2]

    2.Sketch within a cubic unit cell the following planes


    (a) (01 1 )
    (b) (112 )
    (c) (102 )
    (d) extra example
    (d) (13 1)
    3. Determine the Miller indices for the planes shown in the following unit cell:

    Solution

    For plane A we will leave the origin at the unit cell as shown; this is a (403) plane, as summarized
    below.

    x y z
    a 2c
    Intercepts ∞b
    2 3
    1 2
    Intercepts in terms of a, b, and c ∞
    2 3
    3
    Reciprocals of intercepts 2 0
    2
    Reduction 4 0 3
    Enclosure (403)

    For plane B we will move the origin of the unit cell one unit cell distance to the right along the y
    axis, and one unit cell distance parallel to the x axis; thus, this is a (1 1 2) plane, as summarized below.

    x y z
    c
    Intercepts a b
    2
    1
    Intercepts in terms of a, b, and c 1 1
    2
    Reciprocals of intercepts 1 1 2
    Reduction (not necessary)
    Enclosure (112)
    4. Derive planar density expressions for BCC (110) planes in terms of the atomic radius

    For this (110) plane there is one atom at each of the four cube corners through which it passes, each of
    which is shared with four adjacent unit cells, while the center atom lies entirely within the unit cell. Thus,
    there is the equivalence of 2 atoms associated with this BCC (110) plane. The planar section represented in
    the above figure is a rectangle, as noted in the figure below.

    From this figure, the area of the rectangle is the product of x and y. The length x is just the unit cell edge
    4R
    length, which for BCC (Equation 3.3) is . Now, the diagonal length z is equal to 4R. For the triangle
    3

    bounded by the lengths x, y, and z

    y= z 2 − x2

    Or

     4R  2
    4R 2
    y= (4 R) 2 −   =
     3
     3

    Thus, in terms of R, the area of this (110) plane is just


     4 R   4 R 2  16 R 2 2
    Area (110) = xy =    =
     3  3  3

    And, finally, the planar density for this (110) plane is just

    number of atoms centered on (110) plane


    PD110 =
    area of (110) plane

    2 atoms 3
    = =
