Last lecture we discussed the concept of Miller planes.
-These were planes designated by Miller indices $(h,k,l)$ which intersect the lattice vectors at $\mathbf{a}_1 / h$, $\mathbf{a}_22 / k$ and $\mathbf{a}_3 / l$.
-It turns out that these miller planes are normal the reciprocal lattice vector $\mathbf{G} = h \mathbf{b}_1 + k \mathbf{b}_2 + l \mathbf{b}_3$ and that the distance between subsequent Miller planes is given by $d_{hkl} = \frac{2 \pi}{\lvert \mathbf{G} \rvert}$ (you will derive this in [exercise ](https://solidstate.quantumtinkerer.tudelft.nl/10_xray/#exercise-2-miller-planes-and-reciprocal-lattice-vectors)).

We substitute the expression of $\lvert \mathbf{G} \rvert$ into the equation of the distance:
$$
d_{hkl} \cos (\phi) = \frac{\pi}{\lvert \mathbf{k} \rvert}.
$$
-We know that $\lvert \mathbf{k} \rvert$ is related to the wavelength by $\lvert \mathbf{k} \rvert = \pi/\lambda$.
+We know that $\lvert \mathbf{k} \rvert$ is related to the wavelength by $\lvert \mathbf{k} \rvert = 2\pi/\lambda$.
Therefore, we can write the equation above as
$$
2 d_{hkl} \cos (\phi) = \lambda.
$$
-We substitute $\phi = \theta - \pi/2$.
+Lastly, we express the equation in terms of the deflection angle through the relation $\phi = \theta - \pi/2$.
With this, one can finally derive **Bragg's Law**:
$$
\lambda = 2 d_{hkl} \sin(\theta)
$$
-This equation allows us to obtain the distance $d_{hkl}$ from an experiment.
-Thus we can sue Bragg's Law in a diffraction powder diffraction experiment to obtain the distances between atoms in a crystal structre!
