Step 1
In this case, the Bravais lattice appears to be a square lattice, as the points form a regular grid with equal spacing in both the x and y directions. (b) The basis is the set of atoms or molecules that are repeated throughout the crystal structure to create the Show more…

A crystal has a basis of one atom per lattice point and a set of primitive translation vectors are (in A): a = 3i; b = 3j; c = 1.5(i + j K); where i, j, and k are unit vectors in the x, Y and z directions of cartesian coordinate system: What is the Bravais lattice type of this crystal, and what are the Miller indices of the set of planes most densely populated with atoms? Calculate the volumes of the primitive unit cell and the conventional unit cell;

Name the Bravais lattices encountered in cubic system. Sketch their unit cells and find for each type unit cell (a) the number of atoms per unit cell. (b) co-ordination number for each atom in the lattice.
Calculate the structure factor for a crystal structure which can be described by a simple cubic Bravais lattice plus a two-atom basis. The two atoms are at (0,0,0) and (1/4,1/4,1/4) relative to the Bravais lattice point.
