Study Notes
Lattice Concepts
- Lattice refers to a periodic arrangement of points in space, creating a structured network.
- Real lattice represents the physical structure of the crystal, while the reciprocal lattice relates to its diffraction pattern.
Basics of Lattice and Basis Vectors
- A primitive basis is a set of vectors that define the smallest repetitive unit of a lattice.
- Nonprimitive basis involves multiple primitive vectors to describe the same crystalline structure.
- Each real lattice has a corresponding reciprocal lattice which is crucial for understanding diffraction phenomena.
Bragg's Law
- Bragg's Law relates the angles at which X-rays are diffracted by atomic planes in a crystal.
- Given by the equation: nλ = 2d sin(θ), where n is an integer, λ is the wavelength, d is the distance between lattice planes, and θ is the angle of incidence/reflection.
Ewald Sphere Construction
- Ewald Sphere is a geometrical construct used to visualize the relationship between the incident and diffracted beams in reciprocal space.
- The radius of the Ewald Sphere is equal to 1/λ, where λ is the wavelength of the incident wave.
- Upon constructing the Ewald Sphere, the points of intersection with the reciprocal lattice points indicate valid diffraction conditions.
Vectorization in Lattices
- Vectors in a lattice framework include direct lattice vectors (a, b, c) and corresponding reciprocal vectors (a*, b*, c*).
- Relationships exist between direct lattice and reciprocal lattice:
- a* = (2π) / (b × c) (and similar for b* and c*).
- Scalar multiplication of a vector can be used to indicate its role in the unit cell or overall lattice structure.
Applications of Lattice Theory
- Understanding lattice structures is crucial for predicting material properties, such as crystallographic orientations, electronic band structure, and thermal conductivity.
- Lattice parameters and the arrangement of atoms/respective motifs provide fundamental insights into solid-state physics and materials science.
Importance of Reciprocal Lattice
- The reciprocal lattice aids in analyzing crystallographic planes, facilitating the determination of crystal orientations and properties during X-ray diffraction experiments.
- Each point in the reciprocal lattice corresponds to a unique possible diffracted beam of X-rays or other radiation.
General Notes
- Crystal structures exhibit various symmetries, directly influencing their physical and chemical properties.
- Different crystal systems (cubic, hexagonal, tetragonal, etc.) follow unique lattice arrangements, essential for material classification.
Visualization Techniques
- Proper visualization of lattice structures using models aids in the comprehension of complex crystallographic concepts.
- Software tools exist that allow for accurate representations of both real and reciprocal lattice structures for educational and research purposes.
