Crystallographic PLANES
Planes within Crystals Are Designated
by the MILLER Indices
The indices are simply the
RECIPROCALS of the Axes
Intersection Points of the Plane, with
All numbers INTEGERS
• e.g.: A Plane Intersects the Axes at (x,y,z)
of (−4/5,3,1/2) Then The Miller indices:
1 1 1 5 1 2
15 4 24
4 5 31 2 4 3 1

Miller Indices – Step by Step
MILLER INDICES specify crystallographic planes: (hkl)
Procedure to
Determine Indices
1. If plane passes through 4. Reduce indices by
origin, move the origin common factor for
(use parallel plane) smallest integers
2. Write the INTERCEPT 5. Enclose indices in
for each axis in terms of Parens w/o commas
lattice parameters
(relative to origin)
3. RECIPROCALS are
taken: plane parallel to
axis is zero (no
intercept → 1/ = 0)

Linear & Areal Atom Densities
Linear Density, LD Number of Atoms
per Unit Length On a Straight LINE
Planar Density, PD Number of Atoms
per Unit Area on a PLANE
• PD is also called The Areal Density
In General, LD and PD are different

PolyCrystals → Grains
Most engineering materials are POLYcrystals
Nb-Hf-W plate
with an electron
beam weld
1 mm
• Polycrystals
-Properties may/may not 200 mm
vary with direction.
-If grains are randomly
oriented: isotropic.
(Epoly iron = 210 GPa)
-If grains are textured,
anisotropic.
