Problem 2
Draw the planes whose Miller indices are (421), (112), (1-10) and (-121). State their intercepts on the x- y- and z- axes.
Miller indicies are used as a way to note planes and directions in crystal lattices. To graph the miller indicies in a cartesian coordinate system, you can use the equation Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle 1/Miller Index = Intercept}
For the Miller indicies (421) the x, y, and z intercepts are respectively (1/4, 1/2, 1). This gives rise to the graph
For the Miller indicies (112) the x, y, and z intercepts are respectively (1, 1, 1/2). This gives rise to the graph
For the Miller indicies (1-10) the x, y, and z intercepts are respectively (1, -1, 0) meaning that there is no intercept on the z axis. This gives rise to the graph
For the Miller indicies (-121) the x, y, and z intercepts are respectively (-1, 1/2, 1). This gives rise to the graph

The volume of the primitive cell is Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle {1\over 4}} the volume of the fcc cell.
c. The FCC cell has 4 atoms in it. Each vertex is 1/4 of an atom, and each face cell is 1/2 an atom in the cell. The Primitive Cell has 1 atom in it as it is the smallest possible cell to get. Each vertex of it has 1/8 of an atom on it.
