An interactive 3D visualization of the reciprocal lattice for various crystal systems.
Crystallographic convention: aᵢ · bⱼ = δᵢⱼ (no 2π). Direct arrows are scaled for display.
More orientational disorder gives wider, shallower Gaussian nodes. Broadening is tangential and increases with |G|; radial width stays fixed. The origin is unaffected.
Illustrative equal-integrated-intensity model; no structure factors. A fixed display gain keeps weak peaks visible.
