SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the crystallography of semiconductors, specifically the atomic line lattice axes of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) and Aluminum Nitride (AlN). Participants are tasked with identifying the lattice axes along the a, b, and c directions, as well as the basal plane diagonal, face plane diagonal, and body plane diagonal for both materials. General rules for determining atomic line lattice axes were also requested, emphasizing the importance of understanding crystallographic directions and planes in semiconductor materials.
