Sketch each direction
Using the coordinates and representation of direction indices, draw the following directions within the cubic unit cell:
(a) [101]
- Start at the origin (0,0,0) and travel to coordinates (1,0,1). Draw a vector connecting these points.
(b) [211]
- Start at the origin (0,0,0) and travel to coordinates (2,1,1) within the unit cell, which is the same as coordinates (1,1,1) in the neighboring cell. Draw a vector connecting these points.
(c) \([10 \overline{2}]\)
- Start at the origin (0,0,0) and travel to coordinates (1,0,-2). This point lies on the line between corners H and G. Draw a vector connecting these points.
(d) \([3 \overline{1} 3]\)
- Start at the origin (0,0,0) and travel to coordinates (3,-1,3) within the unit cell, which is the same as coordinates (1,-1,1) in the neighboring cell. Draw a vector connecting these points.
(e) \([\overline{1} 1 \overline{1}]\)
- Start at the origin (0,0,0) and travel to coordinates (-1,1,-1) within the unit cell, which is the same as coordinates (0,1,0) in the neighboring cell. Draw a vector connecting these points.
(f) \([\overline{2} 12]\)
- Start at the origin (0,0,0) and travel to coordinates (-2,1,2) within the unit cell, which is the same as coordinates (0,1,2) in the neighboring cell. Draw a vector connecting these points.
(g) \([3 \overline{1} 2]\)
- Start at the origin (0,0,0) and travel to coordinates (3,-1,2) within the unit cell, which is the same as coordinates (1,-1,2) in the neighboring cell. Draw a vector connecting these points.
(h) [301]
- Start at the origin (0,0,0) and travel to coordinates (3,0,1). This point lies on the line between corners E and A. Draw a vector connecting these points.
By following these steps, you should now have a cubic unit cell with the specified directions sketched within it.
