wavevectordependent
Wavevectordependent is a descriptor for physical quantities whose value varies with the wavevector k, the vector in reciprocal space that represents spatial frequency or crystal momentum. The dependence reflects how a system responds to variations at different length scales and is a central feature in theories with translational symmetry or periodic structure.
In solid state physics and related fields, many quantities are naturally wavevectordependent. Examples include the electronic
Wavevector dependence arises from finite range interactions, spatial order, and boundary conditions. In crystals, periodicity reduces
Computationally, wavevectordependent properties are obtained by Fourier transforming spatial correlations, solving models in k-space, or sampling
Although the term “wavevectordependent” is not standard, it is commonly expressed as wavevector-dependent or wavevector-resolved in
