Kagome lattice

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A kagome lattice is an arrangement of laths composed of interlaced triangles such that each point where two laths cross has four neighboring points. Although called a lattice, it is more closely related to the trihexagonal tiling than to a mathematical lattice.

Its name derives from the Japanese word kagome, meaning the pattern of holes ("me", literally "eyes") in a basket ("kago").
