An infinite array of discrete points generated by a set of discrete translation operations described in three dimensional space by:

Where and are primitive translation vectors which are linearly independent and span the lattice.

Any Bravais lattice has a reciprocal lattice that we can get by Fourier transforming the lattice.

Examples

Simple cubic lattice

Tetragonal lattice
