Question: (c) Prove that the volume of a Bravais lattice primitive cell is v = |a1 (a2 x a3)| where the a are three primitive

(c) Prove that the volume of a Bravais lattice primitive cell is 

(c) Prove that the volume of a Bravais lattice primitive cell is v = |a1 (a2 x a3)| where the a are three primitive vectors. (In conjunction with (5.15) this establishes that the volume of the reciprocal lattice primitive cell is (27)/v.)
