Definition
- 1. A hexagonal lattice is a type of lattice in the hexagonal system, characterized by high symmetry. It consists of lattice points located at the vertices of hexagonal prisms and at the centers of their hexagonal faces. The lattice is described by two parameters: the edge length of the base and the height of the prism. The unit cell in this lattice is a parallelepiped with a rhombus-shaped base, and its edges are used as coordinate axes to specify the position of atoms in the lattice. (ScienceDirect, AI generated definition based on: General Physics, 1967). 2. A hexagonal lattice is a regular arrangement of points or atoms in a two-dimensional structure that forms a honeycomb-like pattern with sixfold symmetry axes. It can be characterized by a hexahedral prism and is commonly found in materials such as graphene, which is composed entirely of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice structure.
