Hi All,

Is there any software or program to show the first brillouin zone and the miller index of zone boundary plane ? I use Mercury, but there is no such function.

If I correctly understand what you need, XCrySDen is the right program for you and it's free!:)
Tools -> k-path selection
will create first brillouin zone and give you miller indices and names of some point.
