   NEW Version 2! (10/17/16) Now includes a link to the saved set of simulations, that can be shared instantly with any nanoHUB user.  Other minor edits to update the activity and fix errors. In this activity, you will use Crystal Viewer to create crystal structures with surfaces that are...

3. ABACUS Exercise: Crystal Lattices and Miler Indices

   Teaching Materials | 20 Jul 2010 | Contributor(s):: Dragica Vasileska, Gerhard Klimeck

   The objective of these assignments is to teach the students about crystal lattices and Miler indices for planes and directions.

4. Crystal Directions and Miller Indices

   Teaching Materials | 08 Jun 2010 | Contributor(s):: David K. Ferry, Dragica Vasileska, Gerhard Klimeck

   Miller indices are a notation system in crystallography for planes and directions in crystal lattices. In particular, a family of lattice planes is determined by three integers, l, m, and n, the Miller indices. They are written (lmn) and denote planes orthogonal to a direction (l,m,n) in the...
