Lattice plane


In crystallography, a lattice plane of a given Bravais lattice is a plane whose intersections with the lattice are periodic and intersect the Bravais lattice; equivalently, a lattice plane is any plane containing at least three noncollinear Bravais lattice points. All lattice planes can be described by a set of integer Miller indices, and vice versa.
Conversely, planes that are not lattice planes have aperiodic intersections with the lattice called quasicrystals; this is known as a "cut-and-project" construction of a quasicrystal.
