All of the features described below are exclusive to the Windows version of CaRIne. Expect to find these capabilities for Linux and Mac OS X later this year.
The reciprocal lattice and stereographic projection images are linked to a crystal unit cell image in that rotation of the unit cell is accompanied by matching rotations in the reciprocal lattice and stereographic projection images.
- Reciprocal lattices
- 3D visualization : radii of nodes can be set proportionally to the structure factor computed with Z.
- 2D visualization : plane cut of the reciprocal lattice from the definition of a zone axis
- electronic diffraction pattern interpretation.
- calculation functions to help interpreting electron diffraction patterns
- graphic tools of measurement of distance and angles with the mouse.
- mouse rotations with calculation of the zone axis in real time
- X-Ray powder diffraction patterns
- peak positions/intensities plotted vs. sin(theta)/lambda
- built-in atomic scatering factors
- peak widths accounted for
- superposition of several patterns calculated by giving mixing coefficients for each powder
- import and superposition of experimental and reference files (for example JCPDs
- Stereographic projections
- directions, poles and plane traces are projected
- interactive geometric calculations with the mouse
- editing of stereographic projections
- orientation / rotation with the mouse
- stereographic projections can be superposed for visualization of orientation relationships.
