asked If my lattice has an atomic basis, do I also find the reciprocals of the basis vectors to get the reciprocal crystal structure?

comment Is this 2D structure triclinic?
@ Chay Paterson The lattice vectors are given by a = {-1/2, -Sqrt[3]/2}; b = {1, 0}; The basis of atom red is {2/3,1/3}, basis of atom blue is {0,0}.

comment What would be the basis vectors for this 2D crystal structure?
I had to go for a walk and think about this one, but now it makes sense! Much appreciated!

comment For 2 electrons in a simple harmonic oscillator (SHO) potential, is $\langle x^2\rangle$ the same as $\langle(x_2 - x_1)^2\rangle$?
I am still stuck, I placed more details on the initial post. I just need to know what the operator $x_1$ would look like as opposed to $x_2$ and I think I'd be set to finally operate on the wavefunction.

comment Once I have the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors, how do I find the eigenfunctions?
@KDN, the eigenvectors I find are just numbers, it is my understanding that the eigenfunctions should be a linear combination of the basis solutions with the eigenvectors I found as coefficients.
