Summary[edit]
DescriptionBlochWaves1D.svg |
English: A Bloch wave (bottom) can be broken up into the product of a periodic function (top) and a plane-wave (center). Blue is real part, red is imaginary part. The left side and right side represent the same Bloch wave broken up in two different ways, involving the wave vector k1 (left) or k2 (right). The difference (k1-k2) is a reciprocal lattice vector.
Español: Una onda de Bloch (abajo) puede expresarse como el producto de una función periódica (arriba) y una onda plana (medio). La parte real es azul, y la parte imaginaria en rojo. Los lados izquierdo y derecho representan la misma onda de Bloch expresada de dos formas diferentes, involucrando los vectores de onda k1 (izquierda) o k2 (derecha). La diferencia (k1-k2) es un vector de la red recíproca. |
