# BrillouinZones

Programs for constructing Brillouin zones in three- and two-dimensional space. It was written to create images of Brillouin zones for the course of condensed matter physics.

#### How to use?

1. Install dependencies:

`pip3 install Pillow matplotlib` or `easy_install3 Pillow matplotlib`

2. `python3 "./3d Brillouin Zone/index.py"` for creating first Brillouin zone in three dimensional space.  

`python3 "./2d Brillouin Zone/index.py"` for creating first several Brillouin zones in two dimensional space.

#### Examples
