Периодически повторяющийся элемент структуры, как например, ячейка кристаллической решетки или волна синусоиды.

agree  Rachel Douglas: Or recurring. Both those verbs can apply to space, as well as time. And the verbal "repeating / recurring" go better with "periodically" than "repetitive" or "recurrent" do.

iterative


Explanation:
or recursive

I think Natalie's is better, but I offer another possibility. These occur normally in a mathematical context, but since the mathematical iteration is reflected in nature, it might be appropriate.
