1st Brillouin Zone--Definition The Wigner-Seitz cell can be defined for any kind of lattice (direct or reciprocal space), but the WS cell of the reciprocal lattice is also called the 1st Brillouin Zone. The 1st BZ is the region in reciprocal space containing all information about the lattice vibrations of the solid. Only the values in the 1st BZ correspond to unique vibrational modes. Any outside this zone is mathematically equivalent to a value inside the 1st BZ. This is expressed in terms of a general translation vector of the reciprocal lattice: 1st Brillouin Zone for
