Question: Obtain an expression for the structure factor for the following unit cells and explain the absence of some reflections in each of these systems shown

Obtain an expression for the structure factor for the following unit cells and explain the absence of some reflections in each of these systems shown in the table given below.
a. A face-centered cubic cell with four atoms of the same kind per unit cell. (Assume that they are located at 000,112120,112012 and 01212).
b. A body-centered cubic cell with two atoms of the same kind per unit cell. (Assume that they are located at 000 and 1121212?2.
Recall:
The structure factor F is given by:
F=f1e2i(hu1+kv1+lw1)+f2e2i(hu2+kv2+lw2)+f3e2i(hu3+kv3+lw3)+cdots.
a)
ei=e3i=e5i=-1,
b)
e2i=e4i=e6i=+1,
c)
in general, ,eni=(-1)n,
where n is any integer,
d)
eni=e-ni, where n is any integer,
e)
eix+e-ix=2cosx.
