    A set of directions related by symmetry operations of the lattice or the crystal is called a family of directions. A family is a symmetry related set. A family of directions is represented (Miller Index notation) as: < u v w > . Note the brackets are important

    [hkl] and {hkl} are same sir?

    eduncle-logo-app

    No gurmeet,zone symbol ([UVW]) The symbol which defines the position of the zone axis of a crystal with respect to the crystallographic reference axes of the mineral. It is enclosed in square brackets to indicate that it refers to a line and not a plane.

    crystallography there are conventions as to how the indices of planes and directions are written. When referring to a specific plane, "round" brackets are used: (hkl) When referring to a set of planes related by symmetry, then "curly" brackets are used: {hkl}

    sir do we have any example. as e.g for cubic it is - (111).

    eduncle-logo-app

    but when { hkl } can use

    eduncle-logo-app

    like if you denote {111} it defines octahedron form in Isometric system.. but in that octahedron if we take any single face we denote by ( 111)

    Answer: indicates the family of direction. [uvw] indicates zone axis. (hkl) and {hkl} indicates the face i.e. a plane.

    eduncle-logo-app

    [ uvw] and < uvw > are same things.?

    eduncle-logo-app

    [uvw] indicates zone axis i.e. a single direction. Family of direction is indicated by symbol.
