Lattices lattice planes

Knowledge of basic crystallography starts from the conception of symmetry, symmetry planes and symmetry operations necessary to identify the parameters, like lattice, lattice planes, crystal lattices (i.e. Bravis lattice) describing different crystal symmetries. Miller indices h, k, 1) to identify crystal planes etc. are explained here. 

Miller indices form a notation system in crystallography for directions and planes in crystal lattices. Lattice planes are determined by the three integers h, k, and /, also called Miller indices. In a cubic lattice, these indices coincide with the inverse intercepts along the lattice vectors as shown in Figure 2.14. Thus, (MO simply denotes a plane that intercepts at the three lattice vectors at the points alh, b/k, and cH (or a multiple of those). If one of the indices is zero, the planes are parallel to that axis. 

Chaimelling phenomena were studied before Rutherford backscattering was developed as a routine analytical tool. Chaimelling phenomena are also important in ion implantation, where the incident ions can be steered along the lattice planes and rows. Channelling leads to a deep penetration of the incident ions to deptlis below that found in the nonnal, near Gaussian, depth distributions characterized by non-chaimelled energetic ions. Even today, implanted chaimelled...

Why is this relevant to the diffusion of zinc in copper Imagine two adjacent lattice planes in the brass with two slightly different zinc concentrations, as shown in exaggerated form in Fig. 18.5. Let us denote these two planes as A and B. Now for a zinc atom to diffuse from A to B, down the concentration gradient, it has to squeeze between the copper atoms (a simplified statement - but we shall elaborate on it in a moment). This is another way of saying the zinc atom has to overcome an energy barrier... 

If this is subjected to the "Bain strain" it becomes an undistorted b.c.c. cell. This atomic "switching" involves the least shuffling of atoms. As it stands the new lattice is not coherent with the old one. But we can get coherency by rotating the b.c.c. lattice planes as well (Fig. 8.8). 

The papers which introduced the concept of a dislocation all appeared in 1934 (Polanyi 1934, Taylor 1934, Orowan 1934). Figure 3.20 shows Orowan s original sketch of an edge dislocation and Taylor s schematic picture of a dislocation moving. It was known to all three of the co-inventors that plastic deformation took place by slip on lattice planes subjected to a higher shear stress than any of the other symmetrically equivalent planes (see Chapter 4, Section 4.2.1). Taylor and his collaborator Quinney had also undertaken some quite remarkably precise calorimetric research to determine how much of the work done to deform a piece of metal... 

It may occasion surprise that an amorphous material has well-defined energy bands when it has no lattice planes, but as Street s book points out, the silicon atoms have the same tetrahedral local order as crystalline silicon, with a bond angle variation of (only) about 10% and a much smaller bond length disorder . Recent research indicates that if enough hydrogen is incorporated in a-silicon, it transforms from amorphous to microcrystalline, and that the best properties are achieved just as the material teeters on the edge of this transition. It quite often happens in MSE that materials are at their best when they are close to a state of instability.

The parallelization of crystallites, occurring as a result of fiber drawing, which consists in assuming by crystallite axes-positions more or less mutually parallel, leads to the development of texture within the fiber. In the case of PET fibers, this is a specific texture, different from that of other kinds of chemical fibers. It is called axial-tilted texture. The occurrence of such a texture is proved by the displacement of x-ray reflexes of paratropic lattice planes in relation to the equator of the texture dif-fractogram and by the deviation from the rectilinear arrangement of oblique diffraction planes. With the preservation of the principle of rotational symmetry, the inclination of all the crystallites axes in relation to the fiber axis is a characteristic of such a type of texture. The angle formed by the axes of particular crystallites (the translation direction of space lattice [c]) and the... 

The quantitative assessment of the degree of crystallite orientation by x-ray examination is not free of ambiguity. From a comparative analysis [23] in which results obtained from the consideration of (105) and from three different variations of equatorial reflection were compared, the conclusion was that the first procedure can lead to underrated results, i.e., to the underestimation of the orientation. However, it can be assumed that this does not result from an incorrect procedure, but from ignoring the fact that the adjacent (105) reflex can overlap. The absence of the plate effect of the orientation is characteristic of the orientation of crystallites in PET fibers. The evidence of this absence is the nearly identical azimuthal intensity distributions of the diffracted radiation in the reflexes originating from different families of lattice planes. The lack of the plate effect of orientation in the case of PET fiber stretching has to do with the rod mechanism of the crystallite orientation.

The following diagram shows two lattice planes from which two parallel x-rays are diffracted. If the two incoming x-rays are in phase, show that the Bragg equation 2d sin 6 = X is true when n is an integer. Refer to Major Technique 3 on x-ray diffraction, which follows this set of exercises. 

Madelimg s proof of the hypothesis of space lattices was an indirect one. The direct proof was made in 1912 by Max von Lane, who used two conjectrrres as a starting point for his experiment. The first conjectrrre concerned the newly discovered x-rays, whose wave length was estimated in the range between 12 rrm and 5 pm. The other conjecture concerned the distance between the lattice planes. Based on these two conjectures he birilt the hypothesis that the interaction x-rays with crystal lattices should lead to interference, what he coitld show in experimerrts. 

Figure 4.4. X-rays scattered by atoms in an ordered lattice interfere constructively in directions given by Bragg s law. The angles of maximum intensity enable one to calculate the spacings between the lattice planes and allow furthermore for phase identification. Diffractograms are measured as a function of the angle 26. When the sample is a...

The notion of a reciprocal lattice cirose from E vald who used a sphere to represent how the x-rays interact with any given lattice plane in three dimensioned space. He employed what is now called the Ewald Sphere to show how reciprocal space could be utilized to represent diffractions of x-rays by lattice planes. E vald originally rewrote the Bragg equation as ... 

Using this equation, E)wald applied it to the case of the diffraction sphere which we show in the following diagram as 2.1.10. on the next page. Study this diagram carefully. In this case, the x-ray beam enters the sphere enters from the left and encounters a lattice plane, L. It is then diffracted by the angle 20 to the point on the sphere, P, where it... 

Thus, these intercepts are given in terms of the actual unit-cell length found for the specific structure, and not the lattice itself. The Miller Indices are thus the indices of a stack of planes within the lattice. Planes are important in solids because, as we will see, they are used to locate atom positions within the lattice structure. 

Diameter control. Parameter 6, is important to the final quality of the obtained crystal. The sides of the crystal need to be straight because they reflect the regularity of the lattice planes within the crystal. Effects of deviation from "correct growing conditions on the quality of the crystal so-produced are shown in the following diagram, given as 6.4.8. on the next page. 

The fact that the photon does traverse the lattice planes does not mean that the photon wUl be absorbed or even scattered by the solid. The reflectance of the photon is a function of the nature of the compositional surface, whereas absorption depends upon the interior composition of the solid. A "resonance" condition must exist before the photon can transfer energy to the solid (absorption of the photon), hi the following, we show this resonance condition in general terms of both R A. 

The (001) face has the highest density of Mo atoms depending on the lattice fracture plane, unsaturated Mo and Oji can appear. In the a direction two types of bonds arise Mo-On (1.73A) and Mo-On (2.25A) several crystal surfaces can then be envisaged (model 4), viz. (Mo6024), (M06O23) (Mo602i) and MofiOig. 

The structure of growing crystal faces is inhomogeneous (Fig. 14.11a). In addition to the lattice planes (1), it featnres steps (2) of a growing new two-dimensional metal layer (of atomic thickness), as well as kinks (3) formed by the one-dimensional row of metal atoms growing along the step. Lattice plane holes (4) and edge vacancies (5) can develop when nniform nucleus growth is disrupted.
