op�ration de macle est d'ordre 2, c'est-�-dire une rotation de 180� autour d'une

direction r�ticulaire ou une r�flexion par rapport � un plan r�ticulaire), l'indice

de macle est calcul� d'apr�s la formule suivante :

{\displaystyle n={\frac {|uh+vk+wl|}{f}}={\frac {X}{f}}}{\displaystyle n={\frac {|

uh+vk+wl|}{f}}={\frac {X}{f}}}
o� {\displaystyle f}f d�pend du type de r�seau et de la parit� de {\displaystyle
X}X, {\displaystyle h}h, {\displaystyle k}k, {\displaystyle l}l, {\displaystyle
u}u, {\displaystyle v}v et {\displaystyle w}w, comme dans le tableau suivant.
