Calculate Miller indices (hkl) from crystal plane intercepts. Fast, accurate converter for crystallography, XRD analysis, and materials science. Works for all crystal systems.
Enter the intercepts of the crystal plane with the x, y, and z axes. Use 'â' or 'infinity' for planes parallel to an axis.
Enter a number or â for infinity (parallel to axis)
Enter a number or â for infinity (parallel to axis)
Enter a number or â for infinity (parallel to axis)
The Miller indices for this plane are:
Miller indices are a notation system used in crystallography to specify planes and directions in crystal lattices.
To calculate Miller indices (h,k,l) from intercepts (a,b,c):
1. Take the reciprocals of the intercepts: (1/a, 1/b, 1/c) 2. Convert to the smallest set of integers with the same ratio 3. If a plane is parallel to an axis (intercept = infinity), its corresponding Miller index is 0
