Where h, k, and l are indices. The corresponding inverse-space lattice would be:

Vectors

There are many equivalent ways to define/construct the Cartesian basis for the unit cell in real-space. The unit cell vectors can be written as:

According to this, the vectors can be written as:

which is mathematically equivalent.
