HYPOTHESIS: Structural units = atoms
Example: NaCl
Atomic masses:
Na 38.12 x 10-24 g
Cl 58.85 x 10-24 g
Cubic structure
1 cm3 m = 2.165 g
N = 44.6 x 1021 atoms
0.28 nm = 2.8 Å
CONCLUSION:
Inter-atomic distances
Atomic dimensions
≈ X-ray wavelengths

68. Reciprocal lattice and lattice planes
For any family of lattice planes separated by a distance d
there are reciprocal lattice vectors perpendicular to the planes,
the shortest of which have a length 2π/d.
For any reciprocal lattice vector R*,
there is a family of lattice planes normal to R*
and separated by a distance d,
where 2π/d is the length of the shortest reciprocal lattice vector
parallel to R*.
