The above link explains also what eFieldNormalized means. If it's unclear
to you, try being specific with your request. For example, if you do not
know what "reciprocal lattice vectors" are, look them up and it should be
much clearer to you.

Just like when you deal with large voltages in real life, you want to know
what's going on yourself before trying anything else.
