Generate crystal models in a few clicks. Describe unit cells, import CIF files, model defects and impurities. Cut crystals.
This extension makes it possible to generate crystal models in a few clicks.
Create crystal models from scratch
The contained app lets you create crystal models from scratch:
Cut crystals
The associated property model makes it possible to cut the crystal according to Miller indices and expose the important crystal planes:
Import crystal models
Finally, this extension contains an importer to read CIF files.
Once a unit cell is written or imported, it can be repeated in the directions of the lattice vectors to create a complete crystal.
Each repetition is not a mere copy but is generated again so that defects and impurities are modeled:

This extension was originally created by Francois Rousse as part of his research at NANO-D, Inria.
Crystal Creator is an extension for SAMSON,
the integrated platform for molecular design.
To use Crystal Creator:
1. Create your free account
and choose a molecular design plan
