Reciprocal-space map symmetries for simulated samples. (a) Zonally symmetric spherical function with ℓmax = 12 with its maximum around a great circle and a minimum at the poles, similar to the reciprocal-space maps of sample `M'. (b) Spherical function with ℓmax = 2, similar to the reciprocal-space maps of sample `T'. (c) Spherical functions with ℓmax = 8, with no particular symmetry constraints, similar to the reciprocal-space maps of sample `mammoth'. The color of the surface of each spherical function indicates its amplitude on a linear scale, scaled according to the largest and smallest value of each spherical function. |
