This section outlines how to find the basis vectors for the reciprocal lattice from the basis vectors of the real space lattice. Miller indices h, k, l are three integers that determine the reciprocal lattice vector, which is orthogonal to a specific crystal plane. It is normal to the planes of the family, and the lattice spacing of the family is d 1oh 1 noh if h is the nth node on the reciprocal lattice row oh. It is well known that the reciprocal lattice vector h of a specific set of lattice planes is defined as a vector in the reciprocal space such that the vector direction is perpendicular to the lattice planes and the magnitude is. Linear combinations formed from these reciprocal vectors and the miller indices are vectors that are in the same direction as the poles to the corresponding planes.
