Determination of the densities of crystal face lattices without graphical constructions

Abstract

In the article by Prof. E. S. Fedorov, "Representation of Crystal Structure by Vector Circles," a graphical method is presented for finding the reticular densities of crystal faces (more precisely: the squares of the reticular densities of the corresponding nets). Anyone who has dealt with determining the reticular densities of faces by this method knows that it involves making certain constructions—not particularly complicated, but nonetheless quite time-consuming. This article aims to show how the task can be simplified, reducing the drafting work to a minimum.
