Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around finding the intercepts with axes for Miller indices, specifically focusing on determining the x, y, z components for given directions in a three-dimensional context.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are attempting to identify the correct x, y, z values for two specified directions. Questions about the definition of an index and the process of calculating intercepts are raised. Some participants express confusion regarding the three-dimensional aspect of the problem.

Discussion Status

There is ongoing clarification regarding the values for the directions, with some participants confirming the accuracy of the proposed values. Guidance has been offered on using the Pythagorean theorem for justifying distances, indicating a productive direction in the discussion.

Contextual Notes

Participants are navigating terminology differences between British and American English regarding the terms "indices" and "subscripts." There is also a mention of confusion stemming from the three-dimensional nature of the problem.

What is the definition of an index?

the direction [x,y,z]
 
Okay, I see the pic now. You are starting from the origin. Just calculate where the point is in the table.

I'm not quite really sure if I get this right since it is in 3D and is very confusing.

Now, I have Direction 1 [0, 0.25, 0.3]

Direction 2 [0.4, 0.25, -0.3]

Would you please verify if what I have looks good?

Thank you in advance
 
Yeah, now it looks good. If you need to justify the distances, ue pythagoras theorem.

Alright, thank you very much for your clarifications.
 
The standard English term is "x, y, z components" not "indices". In "British English", the letters "x", "y", "z" in, say, u_x, u_y, or u_z would be "indices" (in "American English", "subscripts").
 
hi,can anybody tell how to find intercept with axis for miller indices?
