Square Bravais lattice
= Square Bravais lattice
{title2=$\Lambda=\ell R\mathbb Z^2$}
A <two-dimensional Bravais lattice> with perpendicular primitive vectors of the same <length> $\ell$. An orthogonal matrix $R$ gives its orientation, and its primitive <area> is $\ell^2$. Its nearest-neighbor graph is a <square lattice>; the set of <crystal> translations and the graph with chosen adjacency are related but distinct objects.
