Author Name : Raju Kumar

ABSTRACT This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the reciprocal lattice, lattice, and Brillouin zone of a Face-centred Cubic (FCC) lattice. The FCC lattice is a fundamental structure in solid-state physics, and understanding its reciprocal lattice, lattice, and Brillouin zone is crucial for studying its electronic and vibrational properties. Using mathematical derivations and graphical visualizations, we construct the reciprocal lattice and Brillouin zone of the FCC lattice. We also analyze the symmetry properties of the lattice and its reciprocal lattice, and discuss their implications for the electronic and phonon dispersion relations. Our results provide a detailed understanding of the reciprocal lattice, lattice, and Brillouin zone of the FCC lattice, which is essential for studying the physical properties of materials with this crystal structure.
