mathematical construct to describe the diffraction patterns of crystals

Description

In solid state physics, the reciprocal lattice emerges from the Fourier transform of the direct lattice which 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, known as reciprocal space or k space, which refers to the wavevector.
