Crystallographic Planes
Miller Indices: Reciprocals of the (three) axial
intercepts for a plane, cleared of fractions &
common multiples. All parallel planes have
same Miller indices.

Atomic arrangements
The atomic arrangement for a crystallographic plane depends
on the crystal structure
FCC: (a) reduced sphere
(b) atomic packing of
an FCC (110) plane
Chapter 3 -
Atomic arrangements
A family of planes contains all the planes that are
crystallographically equivalent.
In cubic system, planes with same indices, irrespective
of order and sign, are equivalent
(111), (111), (111) belong to {111} family
(100), (100), (010), and (001) belong to {100} family
(123), (123), (312) in cubic crystals belong to {123} family
