Reciprocal lattice

The reciprocal lattice is a term associated with solids with translational symmetry, and plays a major role in many areas such as X-ray and electron diffraction as well as the energies of electrons in a solid. It emerges from the Fourier transform of the lattice associated with the arrangement of the atoms. The direct lattice or real lattice is a periodic function in physical space, such as a crystal system. The reciprocal lattice exists in the mathematical space of spatial frequencies, known as
