Miller Indices
Miller Indices are a method of describing the
orientation of a plane or set of planes within a lattice in
relation to the unit cell. They were developed
by William Hallowes Miller.
These indices are usef

The Structure of Crystalline Solids
Some questions about material structure.
How do atoms assemble into solid structures?
How does the density of a material depend on
its structure?

Summary from lecture 1 and 2
The course will introduce you to the Materials science of
nuclear reactors.
We will look at fundamentals of structure-property
relationships.
Most of what we learn will be applicable to both ssion and
fusion reactors.
