Brillouin zone of a two-dimensional triangular lattice (source code)

= Brillouin zone of a two-dimensional triangular lattice
{c}

The reciprocal lattice of a two-dimensional triangular <Bravais lattice> is triangular, so its <Wigner-Seitz cell> is a regular hexagon. Opposite boundary points are identified modulo reciprocal-lattice translations, and the six corners fall into two inequivalent classes of three corners each, conventionally denoted $K$ and $K'$.
