ASSIGNMENT # 01 SSP1 (PHY-366)

Question 1. Calculate packing factor for Hexagonal and Hexagonal closed packed
structure.
Question 2. Why Diamond has low APF as compared to other cubic structures.
Question 3. Find out the Miller indices of the following given planes.

Question 4. Determine the miller indices of a plane that makes an intercept of 3Å,
4Å, and 5Å on the coordinate axis of an orthodromic crystal with a: b: c = 1: 2: 5.
Question 5. Find the interplanar spacing for the lattice planes of Miller indices
(321), (210) and (111) for the cubic lattice with a = 5.62 Å.
Question 6. Draw a (111̅) plane in the unit cell of a cubic crystal. Find the <111>
directions that lie on this plane.
