Determining the structure of a crystal from its diffraction pattern
I am given the Laue interference patterns (in reciprocal space) of two crystal structures, being either simple cubic (sc), body-centered cubic (bcc) or face-centered cubic (fcc), with the task to link each pattern to its structure. The size of the points is proportional to the intensity of the Bragg diffraction. Black dots correspond to non-observed diffraction points.
I know that a connection between the intensity of the diffracted beam and the crystal structure is provided by the geometrical structure factor $S_{\boldsymbol{K}}$ \begin{equation} I(\boldsymbol{K}) \propto |S_{\boldsymbol{K}}|^2, \end{equation} with $S_{\boldsymbol{K}}$ defined as (mono-atomic basis) \begin{equation} S_{\boldsymbol{K}} = \sum_{j=1}^n e^{i \boldsymbol{K} \cdot \boldsymbol{d}j}. \end{equation} The index $j$ spans all atoms in the basis of the Bravais lattice (lattice constant $a$) and $\boldsymbol{d}_j$ is the vector to the $j$th atom. For the lattices considered in this exercise and with $\boldsymbol{K} = \frac{2\pi}{a} (n_1 \hat{x} + n_2 \hat{y} + n_3 \hat{z})$, one gets \begin{equation} \text{SC: } S{\boldsymbol{K}} = 1, \quad \text{BCC: } S_{\boldsymbol{K}} = \left{ \begin{array}{ll} 2 & n_1 + n_2 + n_3 \text{ even} \ 0 & n_1 + n_2 + n_3 \text{ odd} \end{array} \right., \quad \text{FCC: } S_{\boldsymbol{K}} = \left{ \begin{array}{ll} 4 & n_1,n_2,n_3 \text{ all even/odd} \ 0 & n_1,n_2,n_3 \text{ mixed even/odd} \end{array} \right. 374
\end{equation}
As some points do not appear in the diffraction pattern, one can readily exclude the SC lattice (and hence answers 1 and 2). If I'm not mistaken, the origin of the reciprocal lattice is the central dot (biggest one). Then the point $(1,1, n_3)$, which appears in image a) but not in image b), should help decide between answers 3 and 4.
However, as the diffraction patterns I am given are 2-dimensional, if I assume (may I?) that $n_3$ is even, then I am left with $S_{(1,1,n_3)}\neq 0$ for the BCC lattice only, wich means that a) corresponds to the BCC structure and b) to the FCC one. On the other hand, by the same reasoning, I could choose $n_3$ to be odd, such that a) would be the FCC structure and b) the BCC one. This degree of freedom is somewhat confusing.
Could someone enlighten me on the way to answer this problem properly? 490
