Question
Hexagonal space lattice. The primitive translation vectors of the hexagonal space
lattice may be taken as
a = (3Pa/2)& + (a/2)ŷ ;
a2 = -(32a/2)& + (a/2)ŷ ;
az = c2 .
(a) Show that the volume of the primitive cell is (312/2)a°c.
(b) Show that the primitive translations of the reciprocal lattice are
bị = (27/3a)y + (2la)ŷ ;
b, = -(27/312a)âk + (27/a)ŷ ;
bz = (2m/c)2 ,
%3D
so that the lattice is its own reciprocal, but with a rotation of axes.
(c) Describe and sketch the first Brillouin zone of the hexagonal space lattice.
