Materials Science and Metallurgy Mathematical Crystallography Professor Harry Bhadeshia Lecture 1: vectors, coordinate transformations, reciprocal lattice
coordinate transformation matrix J
each column of (B J A) represents the components of a basis vector of A with respect to B
The reciprocal basis A*
directions: refer to real space plane normals: refer to reciprocal space
to take a dot product between two vectors in any coordinate system, express one in the reciprocal basis and the other in real basis.
