How to convert Weiss Indices into Miller Indices?
The Weiss parameters, introduced by Christian Samuel Weiss in 1817, are the ancestors of the Miller indices. They give an approximate indication of a face orientation with respect to the crystallographic axes, and were used as a symbol for the face.
Now that we know the equation of a plane in space, the rules for Miller Indices are a little more intelligible. They are:
- Determine the intercepts of the face along the crystallographic axes, in terms of unit cell dimensions.
- Take the reciprocals
- Clear fractions
- Reduce to lowest terms
If a plane is parallel to an axis, its intercept is at infinity and its Miller index is zero. A generic Miller index is denoted by (hkl).
How to Calculate Weiss Index along Y-axis using Miller Indices?
Weiss Index along Y-axis using Miller Indices calculator uses Weiss Index along y-axis = LCM of Weiss Indices/Miller Index along y-axis to calculate the Weiss Index along y-axis, The Weiss Index along Y-axis using Miller Indices gives an approximate indication of a face orientation with respect to the crystallographic y-axis. Weiss Index along y-axis is denoted by b symbol.
