a. The primitive translation vectors of the Tetragonal space lattice may be taken as
a1 = a x̂, a2 = a ŷ, a3 = c ẑ
Find the interplanar spacing for planes (hkl) in this lattice.
b. If the volume of a unit cell of the direct lattice is V, show that the volume of a unit cell of the reciprocal lattice is (2π)³/V.
c. The primitive translation vectors of the hexagonal space lattice may be taken as
a1 = (√3/2 a) x̂ + (a/2) ŷ ; a2 = −(√3/2 a) x̂ + (a/2) ŷ ; a3 = c ẑ
Show that the reciprocal lattice is a hexagonal lattice.
