OK, let's think through the plane spacing formula for cubic crystals, including FCC: dhkl=h2+k2+l2a. This applies to (100), (110), and (111) planes.
Calculating plane spacing
I’m working through plane spacing: d100=a, d110=a/2, and d111=a/3. The largest spacing is for the (100) plane.
Determining plane density
I’m calculating plane density by looking at the number of atoms per area in the 2D unit cell for the (100), (110), and (111) planes in an FCC crystal.
Assessing plane components
I’m figuring out how to count atoms in the (100) plane: 4 corner atoms, each 1/4 to the plane, and 1 face-centered atom, totaling 1 unit per 2D unit cell.
Laying out the details
I'm mapping out the (110) plane density, considering the 2D repeating area and using the formula Plane Density=AreaAtoms.
Assessing the plane density
OK, let me see. For the (110) plane, the 2D unit cell area is a2/2, leading to a plane density of 2/a2.
Calculating plane density
I'm working through the (110) plane's plane density, considering the rectangular net area a22 and the atoms per unit cell, leading to a plane density of 2/a2.
Mapping the density
I'm evaluating the (111) plane density by repeatedly calculating the area and atom distribution for the (100) and (110) planes, leading to the conclusion that the unit cell parameters are a23 and 3/22 respectively.
Determining (110) plane density
I'm analyzing the (110) plane density with a22 as the 2D unit cell area, considering atoms at corners and edge centers. This approach helps clarify the structure.
Verifying planar density
I'm checking the planar density of the (110) plane in an FCC crystal. This involves calculating the 2D unit cell area and counting atoms within it to ensure accuracy.
Assessing plane density
OK, let's break this down: for an FCC crystal, plane density depends on atoms per 2D repeat area. The (100) plane density is a22, with 2 atoms in its 2D repeat area.
Calculating plane density
Taking a closer look at the (110) plane density, I’m examining the 2D repeat area a22 to determine the atom count within it.
Revisiting my approach
I’m re-evaluating the vectors and atom positions to accurately determine the area and atom count in the (110) plane, aiming for a precise planar packing fraction.
Identifying key atoms
OK, I’m mapping out the atom positions in the (110) plane: four corners and one interior atom at (1/2,−1/2,0). This helps define the 2D unit cell.
Checking atom positions
I'm confirming the plane equation x+y=0 to ensure internal atoms are properly accounted for in the (110) plane.
Revisiting standard results
I’m working through standard planar density formulas for (100) and (110) planes, ensuring atom count is accurate per their 2D unit cell areas.
Calculating planar density
I'm thinking through the planar density for the (111) plane in an FCC crystal. The hexagonal unit cell area is 23a2, with a single atom per 2D cell.
Solving for planar density
I'm calculating the planar density for the (111) plane in an FCC crystal, using the hexagonal unit cell area and distance between nearest neighbors.
Assessing planar density
OK, so the (111) plane emerges with the highest planar density at 3a24≈a22.309, while (110) and (100) follow, matching known rules for each plane type.
