Notes

  1. 1.

    1In some countries capital letters A, C, M are used.

  2. 2.

    2On occasion the most exotic planes find use, too. For instance, the crystallographic planes (13428), (32543), (651140), etc. are utilized in X-ray optics for backward scattering of photons with energies close to that of Mossbaurer 57Fe radiation [5 6].

  3. 3.

    3Solubility of 8 mg of sapphire in 100 ml of water at 1,070 K and a pressure of 6 kbar is 0.0035%.
