The computer-generated reciprocal lattice of a fictional monoclinic 3D crystal. A two-dimensional crystal and its reciprocal lattice. Reciprocal lattice is a concept associated with solids with translational symmetry which plays a major role in many areas such as X-ray and electron diffraction as well as the energies of electrons in a solid.
The Laue equations can be written as = = as the condition of elastic wave scattering by a crystal lattice, where is the scattering vector, , are incoming and outgoing wave vectors (to the crystal and from the crystal, by scattering), and is a crystal reciprocal lattice vector.
That is, (hkℓ) simply indicates a normal to the planes in the basis of the primitive reciprocal lattice vectors. Because the coordinates are integers, this normal is itself always a reciprocal lattice vector. The requirement of lowest terms means that it is the shortest reciprocal lattice vector in the given direction.
Ray diagram of Von Laue formulation. In physics, a Bragg plane is a plane in reciprocal space which bisects a reciprocal lattice vector, , at right angles. [1] The Bragg plane is defined as part of the Von Laue condition for diffraction peaks in x-ray diffraction crystallography.
The honeycomb point set is a special case of the hexagonal lattice with a two-atom basis. [1] The centers of the hexagons of a honeycomb form a hexagonal lattice, and the honeycomb point set can be seen as the union of two offset hexagonal lattices. In nature, carbon atoms of the two-dimensional material graphene are arranged in a honeycomb ...
The reciprocal lattices (dots) and corresponding first Brillouin zones of (a) square lattice and (b) hexagonal lattice. In mathematics and solid state physics , the first Brillouin zone (named after Léon Brillouin ) is a uniquely defined primitive cell in reciprocal space .
In a one-dimensional lattice the number of reciprocal lattice vectors that determine the bands in an energy interval is limited to two when the energy rises. In two and three dimensional lattices the number of reciprocal lattice vectors that determine the free electron bands E n ( k ) {\displaystyle E_{n}(\mathbf {k} )} increases more rapidly ...
The reciprocal lattice is easily constructed in one dimension: for particles on a line with a period , the reciprocal lattice is an infinite array of points with spacing /. In two dimensions, there are only five Bravais lattices. The corresponding reciprocal lattices have the same symmetry as the direct lattice.
