Examples
-
In topology, a sublattice retains the properties of the original lattice while allowing for more complex structures to be analyzed.
-
The larger the sublattice magnetization, the larger the internal field on the conduction electrons, and the sooner superconductivity is killed.

Etymology
Sublattice comes from the prefix sub- meaning 'under' or 'below' and lattice, which means a 'grid' or 'structure'. So a sublattice is a smaller grid or structure that sits inside a larger lattice and still works like a lattice.
