VM Ayres, ECE875, S14 Diamond can be considered as two inter-penetrating fcc lattices. Same basis vectors as fcc:a = a/2 x + 0 y + a/2 z b = a/2 x + a/2 y + 0 z c = 0 x + a/2 y + a/2 z Same primitive cell volume: a 3 /4 Make it diamond by putting a two-atom basis at each vertex of the fcc primitive cell. Pair a 2nd atom at (¼, ¼, ¼) x a with every fcc atom in the primitive cell Ref. Dissertation Enzo Ungersbock, “Advanced modeling of strained CMOS technology” = b c = = a Only shows one of the four inside atoms

VM Ayres, ECE875, S14 Reciprocal space (Reciprocal lattice):

VM Ayres, ECE875, S14 HW01: Find Miller indices in a possibly non-standard direction Miller indices: describe a general direction k. Miller indices describe a plane (hkl). The normal to that plane describes the direction. In an orthogonal system: direction = hx + ky + lz In a non-orthogonal system: direction = ha* + kb* + lc* C-C ^
