On brillouin zones and related constructions
Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: In this paper we discuss the physical and geometrical content of the various equivalent definitions that have been given so far in the literature of a crystal's Brillouin zones. This serves as a motivation to introduce a computationally and conceptually simpler definition. Calculation of Brillouin-zone related properties in two-dimensional lattices is carried out as an illustration of the versatility of this new approach, particularly a count of the number of Landsberg subzones in these Bravais lattices is given, which could be of interest for theoretical physics and number theory.
