Zonal reflection conditions

From Online Dictionary of Crystallography

Conditions de réflexion zonales (Fr). Condizioni di riflessione zonali </Font>(It)

Definition

The zonal reflection conditions are the general reflection conditions due to the presence of glide planes. The resulting conditions apply only to twodimensional sets of reflections, i.e. to reciprocal-lattice nets containing the origin (such as hk0, h0l, 0kl, hhl). For instance, for a glide plane parallel to (001):

type of reflectionreflection condition glide vector glide plane
0kl k = 2 n b/2 b
l = 2 nc/2 c
k + l = 2 nb/2 + c/2 n
k + l = 4 n
k, l = 2n
b/4 ± c/4 d

The zonal reflection conditions are listed in Table 2.2.13.2 of International Tables of Crystallography, Volume A.
