We use the notation (hkl)
to designate planes in a real lattice. In a reciprocal
lattice, the reciprocal lattice points
(relpoints) are labeled (or indexed) the same,
since they represent the planes in the real lattice.
However, the round brackets are often omitted.
Drag the
white
labels from the yellow panel to index the reciprocal lattice points for the unit cell of
the reciprocal lattice shown. Check your score when you have finished. Two
points are already labeled to help you. The unit cell is for a monoclinic crystal. |

A
infinite reciprocal lattice has a specified origin and all the other points are relative
to this point. How is this different from an infinite real lattice?
