Abstract

Abstract
A new method to draw the planes in cubic crystal system has been introduced. According to this method, it is very convenient to draw the planes along negative directions. The origin for the plane along all the directions can be identified easily by referring the standard table given in the text. After referring various technical papers, journals and textbooks it is noticed that there is no definite method and proper directions to draw planes in all possible directions of cubic crystals. In general, it is not a familiar technique for a teacher to explain fundamentals especially to draw the planes along negative directions. In addition to refer x, y and z directions according the available directions, it has been introduced an alternative method by considering a fixed site index for each plane. By using both reference axes and specific lattice point, one can draw all possible planes successfully including negative directions. It is an easy and new method to draw planes. Identification of origin to draw plane is important. Table provides the origin or lattice point out of eight points. Based on this table, it is possible to draw planes for n number of planes in all the possible directions including negative directions. Therefore, the information highlighted in the manuscript is very much helpful in the field of crystallography.
