Reciprocal space (also called k-space) provides a way to visualize the results of the Fourier transform of a spatial function. It is similar in role to the frequency domain arising from the Fourier transform of a time dependent function; reciprocal space is a space over which the Fourier transform of a spatial function is represented at spatial frequencies or wavevectors of plane waves of the ...
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.
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.
Another helpful ingredient in the proof is the reciprocal lattice vectors. These are three vectors b 1, b 2, b 3 (with units of inverse length), with the property that a i · b i = 2π, but a i · b j = 0 when i ≠ j. (For the formula for b i, see reciprocal lattice vector.)
Fig. 1: A hexagonal sampling lattice and its basis vectors v 1 and v 2 Fig. 2: The reciprocal lattice corresponding to the lattice of Fig. 1 and its basis vectors u 1 and u 2 (figure not to scale). The concept of a bandlimited function in one dimension can be generalized to the notion of a wavenumber-limited function in higher dimensions.
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 ...
In the Figure the red dot is the origin for the wavevectors, the black spots are reciprocal lattice points (vectors) and shown in blue are three wavevectors. For the wavevector k 1 {\displaystyle \mathbf {k_{1}} } the corresponding reciprocal lattice point g 1 {\displaystyle \mathbf {g_{1}} } lies on the Ewald sphere, which is the condition for ...
The dispersion relations show conics of the free-electron energy dispersion parabolas for all possible reciprocal lattice vectors. This results in a very complicated set intersecting of curves when the dispersion relations are calculated because there is a large number of possible angles between evaluation trajectories, first and higher order ...
