Interplanar distance given Miller indice of the planes
Say we've a cubic crystal of unity edge length.
A set of planes in such a crystal is specified by their miller indice as $(3 2 0)$. One of these planes then has intercepts on the axes as $(2 ,3 ,\...

How do I find miller indices for a plane whose intercepts are fractions of the lattice constant?
[I'm talking with respect to cubic lattices alone.]
For instance, if a plane has $x,y,z$ intercepts $a/2,a/2,a/2$ (where $a$ is the lattice constant) the miller index would be $[2\space2\space2]$. The ...

How do the three Miller indices (hkl) denote planes orthogonal to the reciprocal lattice vector?
The Wikipedia page for Miller indices defines Miller indices as follows:
There are two equivalent ways to define the meaning of the Miller indices: via a point in the reciprocal lattice, or as the ...

Do two Miller planes need to have similar arrangement of atoms?
For two Miller planes, do I need to have the same arrangement of atoms in both of them?
Does it need to look like the same plane translated a little?
I have this question because if this is not the ...
