incommensuration noun3 •The quality or state of being incommensurate or contradictory. •A crystal structure where natural translation distances are incommensurate with each other. •Incommensurate peaks in the spin fluctuation spectrum.To see how striking this incommensuration is, I plotted (see figure) the real part of the plane wave with Q = ( p [1- d ]/a, p /a), for a = 3.8 Å, with smooth interpolation between the lattice points. — 1997 formsincommensurations
