When talking about solid materials, the discussion is mainly around crystals – periodic lattices. Here we will discuss a 1D lattice of positive ions. Assuming the spacing between two ions is a, the potential in the lattice will look something like this: The mathematical representation of the potential is a periodic function with a period a.
Isosurface of the square modulus of a Bloch state in a silicon lattice Solid line: A schematic of the real part of a typical Bloch state in one dimension. The dotted line is from the factor e ik·r.
4 is 2 3 = 8, (2 n – 1 for n < 8, 240 for n = 8, and 2n(n – 1) for n > 8). [7] The related D * 4 lattice (also called D 4 4 and C 2 4) can be constructed by the union of all four D 4 lattices, but it is identical to the D 4 lattice: It is also the 4-dimensional body centered cubic, the union of two 4-cube honeycombs in dual positions.

The Toda lattice, introduced by Morikazu Toda (), is a simple model for a one-dimensional crystal in solid state physics.It is famous because it is one of the earliest examples of a non-linear completely integrable system.
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 geometry and group theory, a lattice in the real coordinate space is an infinite set of points in this space with the properties that coordinate-wise addition or subtraction of two points in the lattice produces another lattice point, that the lattice points are all separated by some minimum distance, and that every point in the space is within some maximum distance of a lattice point.
A primitive cell is a unit cell that contains exactly one lattice point. For unit cells generally, lattice points that are shared by n cells are counted as 1 / n of the lattice points contained in each of those cells; so for example a primitive unit cell in three dimensions which has lattice points only at its eight vertices is considered to contain 1 / 8 of each of them.

Further experimental observations and theoretical modifications on the field were done by Bradley and Jay, [2] Gorsky, [3] Borelius, [4] Dehlinger and Graf, [5] Bragg and Williams [6] and Bethe. [7] Theories were based on the transition of arrangement of atoms in crystal lattices from disordered state to an ordered state.
