We'll explore creating the reciprocal lattice using both convention and primitive vectors. The primitive reciprocal lattice is more complex, so, we're not asking you to plot it. The conventional reciprocal lattice is less complex, so, it is easier to plot. Part A: Conventional Case: Specify the conventional lattice vectors for the system for FCC. Construct the reciprocal lattice vectors. Next, assume you are looking down the y-axis (y=0 and y=1), and draw the projection of the reciprocal lattice as if were looking down the b-axis (y-axis) of the conventional cell. Note we want to satisfy the condition where they component =0 and then where y component = 1. Hint: look of the combination of Miller Indices that result in either 0 or 1. Similar to a previous example. List some of the points for each case. Also, plot the reciprocal lattice (only in Part A for the Conventional Case). Part B: Primitive Case: Specify the primitive reciprocal lattice vectors for the system for FCC. Construct the reciprocal lattice vectors. Next, assume you are looking down the y-axis (y=0 and y=1), list at least 4 reciprocal lattice points that satisfy this condition where the component =0 and then where y component = 1 (at least 8 points total). Hint: look of the combination of Miller Indices that result in either 0 or 1. Note you just need to list the points, you do not need to plot them
