Books
Reciprocal space is described in most Crystallography books. For example:
- C. Hammond, The Basics of Crystallography and Diffraction, 2nd edition, OUP, 2001
- B. D. Cullity and S. R. Stock, Elements of X-ray Diffraction, 3rd edition, Prentice Hall, 2001
- Eds F H Chung and D K Smith Industrial Applications of X-ray Diffraction 2000 has a chapter on history of Rolls Royce on-line Laue system
Websites
- Matter has an interactive tutorial on the reciprocal lattice and Ewald sphere.
- A tutorial on reciprocal space by the Universities of Munich and Würzburg.
- Indexing Electron Diffraction Patterns TLP uses reciprocal space to relate the diffraction pattern to real space.
- Brillouin Zones, an important tool in solid state physics, are also worked in reciprocal space.
