Interplanar Spacing of Crystal given Lattice Parameter Calculator

Calculate Interplanar Spacing









Formula

The formula to calculate Interplanar Spacing (d) is:

\[ d = \frac{a}{\sqrt{h^2 + k^2 + l^2}} \]

Where:

Definition

Interplanar Spacing is the distance between adjacent and parallel planes of the crystal.

Lattice Parameter is defined as the length between two points on the corners of a unit cell.

Miller Index h is the reciprocal of the x intercept of the atomic plane.

Miller Index k is the reciprocal of the y intercept of the atomic plane.

Miller Index l is the reciprocal of the z intercept of the atomic plane.

How to calculate Interplanar Spacing given Lattice Parameter and Miller Indices

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ d = \frac{a}{\sqrt{h^2 + k^2 + l^2}} \]

Evaluating:

\[ d = \frac{2.5E-10}{\sqrt{2^2 + 7^2 + 5^2}} \]

The Interplanar Spacing is 2.83069258536149E-11.
