Reciprocal lattice of the 2023 Cambridge body-centered cubic basis

For

a_{1} = \frac{a}{2} (1, 1, 1), a_{2} = \frac{a}{2} (1, - 1, 1), a_{3} = a (0, 0, 1),

a reciprocal basis is

b_{1} = \frac{2 π}{a} (1, 1, 0), b_{2} = \frac{2 π}{a} (1, - 1, 0), b_{3} = \frac{2 π}{a} (- 1, 0, 1) .

Thus

Λ^{*} = (2 π / a) {(h, k, l) \in Z^{3} : h + k + l even}

and its shortest nonzero vectors have length

22 π / a
