Database Powered

Crystal Studio is integrated with a crystallographic database. The database contains information about all 530 space group specifications from various versions of International Tables for (X-Ray) Crystallography, information on all elements in the Periodic Table including valence, radii etc. and latest data for atomic scattering amplitude and Debye-Waller factors for diffraction calculations. The database also include a crystal structure database with 6000 common crystal structures (Enterprise or Quantum Edition) and a layer/cluster table.

Various Defects

Vacancies, Interstitial Atoms, Edge and Screw Dislocations, Stacking Faults, Twins and Two Phase Coherent Interfaces. Dislocation, FCC/BCC Interface layer.

Various Features

Coordination or Vacant Site Polyhedra, Planes and Plane Atom Views, Thermal Motion Ellipsoids, Selective Build, Cell Transformation, Crystal Slab, Add Surface Layer, Atom Vectors for Symmetries, etc.
