Question 1

For the direct lattice shown in the figure, draw a representative


reciprocal lattice and find the reciprocal lattice vector representing
the set of planes drawn in direct lattice.
Hint

a) draw the reciprocal lattice vector

b) Find a direction normal to the set of planes in direct lattice

product of the vectors

a⃗ ⋅ b⃗ = | a⃗| | b⃗ | cosθ

Question 3

For the given reciprocal lattice and X-ray scattering from a crystal
with mono-atomic basis as shown, what are the possible scattering
vectors k / when k ⃗ = 2b1
Hint

Use the relation between the incident wave vector and the reciprocal lattice vector G
to identify the scattering wave vectors
Solution

We know that,

k / ⃗ = k⃗ +
and G

Then, | k/ ⃗ | = |
k ⃗|
k / ⃗ = 2b1⃗ +
G
Solution

We can draw this as,

Hence

k / ⃗ = ± 2b1⃗, ± 2b2⃗, ±
