Lattice  

Definition

  • 1. A lattice defines a peroidic arrangement of one or more atoms. (https://w3id.org/mdo/structure/Lattice, MatPortal Materials Design Ontology). 2. Periodic grid-like ideal structure consisting of regularly arranged elementary repeating units. Notes: In the condensed matter physics, lattice models are currently used for modeling and theoretical studying of electric, magnetic and optical phenomena as well as materials properties. 1-Dimensional (1-D) lattice is used for modeling linear objects such as linear conjugated polymers (see Peierls distortion), 2-D and 3-D lattices for modeling planar and spatial objects, respectively. Crystal (Bravais) lattices are the most famous examples of physical 3-D lattice models. (IUPAC)
