What are Bravais Lattices?
Bravais Lattice refers to the 14 different 3-dimensional configurations into which atoms can be arranged in crystals. The smallest group of symmetrically aligned atoms which can be repeated in an array to make up the entire crystal is called a unit cell.
There are several ways to describe a lattice. The most fundamental description is known as the Bravais lattice. In words, a Bravais lattice is an array of discrete points with an arrangement and orientation that look exactly the same from any of the discrete points, that is the lattice points are indistinguishable from one another.
Out of 14 types of Bravais lattices some 7 types of Bravais lattices in three-dimensional space are listed in this subsection. Note that the letters a, b, and c have been used to denote the dimensions of the unit cells whereas the letters 𝛂, 𝞫, and 𝝲 denote the corresponding angles in the unit cells.
How to Calculate Interplanar Distance in Triclinic Crystal Lattice?
Interplanar Distance in Triclinic Crystal Lattice calculator uses Interplanar Spacing = sqrt(1/((((Lattice Constant b^2)*(Lattice Constant c^2)*((sin(Lattice parameter alpha))^2)*(Miller Index along x-axis^2))+((Lattice Constant a^2)*(Lattice Constant c^2)*((sin(Lattice Parameter Beta))^2)*(Miller Index along y-axis^2))+((Lattice Constant a^2)*(Lattice Constant b^2)*((sin(Lattice Parameter gamma))^2)*(Miller Index along z-axis^2))+(2*Lattice Constant a*Lattice Constant b*(Lattice Constant c^2)*((cos(Lattice parameter alpha)*cos(Lattice Parameter Beta))-cos(Lattice Parameter gamma))*Miller Index along x-axis*Miller Index along y-axis)+(2*Lattice Constant b*Lattice Constant c*(Lattice Constant a^2)*((cos(Lattice Parameter gamma)*cos(Lattice Parameter Beta))-cos(Lattice parameter alpha))*Miller Index along z-axis*Miller Index along y-axis)+(2*Lattice Constant a*Lattice Constant c*(Lattice Constant b^2)*((cos(Lattice parameter alpha)*cos(Lattice Parameter gamma))-cos(Lattice Parameter Beta))*Miller Index along x-axis*Miller Index along z-axis))/(Volume of Unit Cell^2))) to calculate the Interplanar Spacing, The Interplanar Distance in Triclinic Crystal Lattice, also called Interplanar Spacing is the perpendicular distance between two successive planes on a family (hkl). Interplanar Spacing is denoted by d symbol.
