reciprocal lattice basis
constructs a reciprocal space basis dual to the real space basis vector.
symbols, variables and units
a_i: real space basis vector (m); b_i: m⁻¹; the remaining basis vectors are cyclically replaced.
applicable conditions and boundaries
The primitive cell volume is non-zero; the physics convention including 2π is used.
