The direct lattice or real lattice is a periodic function in physical space, such as a crystal system (usually a Bravais lattice). The reciprocal lattice exists in the mathematical space of spatial frequencies or wavenumbers k, known as reciprocal space or k space; it is the dual of physical space considered as a vector space.
This is based on the fact that a reciprocal lattice vector (the vector indicating a reciprocal lattice point from the reciprocal lattice origin) is the wavevector of a plane wave in the Fourier series of a spatial function (e.g., electronic density function) which periodicity follows the original Bravais lattice, so wavefronts of the plane wave ...
The seven lattice systems and their Bravais lattices in three dimensions. In geometry and crystallography, a Bravais lattice, named after Auguste Bravais (), [1] is an infinite array of discrete points generated by a set of discrete translation operations described in three dimensional space by
Bravais lattices, also referred to as space lattices, describe the geometric arrangement of the lattice points, [4] and therefore the translational symmetry of the crystal. The three dimensions of space afford 14 distinct Bravais lattices describing the translational symmetry.
A lattice system is a set of Bravais lattices (an infinite array of discrete points). Space groups (symmetry groups of a configuration in space) are classified into crystal systems according to their point groups, and into lattice systems according to their Bravais lattices.
The first Brillouin zone is the locus of points in reciprocal space that are closer to the origin of the reciprocal lattice than they are to any other reciprocal lattice points (see the derivation of the Wigner–Seitz cell). Another definition is as the set of points in k-space that can be reached from the origin without crossing any Bragg plane.
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 lattice is then indexed and amplitudes and phases are extracted. The amplitudes and phases can be used to calculate the averaged image for one unit cell via Fourier synthesis. The pseudo-potential map (p2gg symmetry) for determining 2D atomic co-ordinates was obtained after correction of the phase-shifts imposed by the CTF.
