Brillouin scattering, the scattering of light by density variations in a material
•
Brillouin zone, a primitive cell of the reciprocal lattice of a crystal
for example, the work of Eric J. Heller and Emmanuel David Tannenbaum using a partial differential equation gradient descent approach.

The latter grew quite rapidly thanks to both the development of light and neutron scattering and the strong collaboration established with Pierre-Gilles de Gennes (collège de France), Paris) and the Léon Brillouin Laboratory at CEN-Saclay.
