Diffraction Data Analysis on the NetBeans Platform

The Netcrystals software, created in Austria, is a multipurpose scientific software that is mainly related to crystallography and diffraction. The software allows the user to create crystals from an asymmetric cell, using Wyckoff positions and symmetry information.

Crystals can be displayed and manipulated graphically in a 3D environment.

Zooming into the bottom left window above, the crystal and associated data is structured in a logical manner:

The software can also be used to easily build molecules and use the molecules as a motif for constructing the appropriate crystal using symmetry operations.

Future releases of the software will allow the user to use the crystal data to calculate precise diffraction patterns. The final version of the software should enable the user to use empirical diffraction data for recalculation of the crystal structure using appropriate scientific methods.

  • Diffraction refers to various phenomena which occur when a wave encounters an obstacle. In classical physics, the diffraction phenomenon is described as the apparent bending of waves around small obstacles and the spreading out of waves past small openings. Similar...
  • X-ray crystallography is a method of determining the arrangement of atoms within a crystal, in which a beam of X-rays strikes a crystal and causes the beam of light to spread into many specific directions. From the angles and intensities of these diffracted beams, a...
  • The resolution of an optical imaging system — a microscope, telescope, or camera — can be limited by factors such as imperfections in the lenses or misalignment. However, there is a fundamental maximum to the resolution of any optical system which is due to...
