How to find Miller indices?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the method or steps to determine Miller indices, which are a notation system in crystallography for planes in crystal lattices.
Answer
(hkl)
The final answer is the set of integers (hkl) representing the plane.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is the set of integers (hkl) representing the plane.
More Information
Miller indices are a shorthand notation that captures the orientation of a plane in a crystal lattice using three integers.
Tips
A common mistake is forgetting to take the reciprocal of the intercepts or not reducing the set of integers to the smallest possible form.
