+ | You can find more details on the [[http://jp-minerals.org/vesta/en/ | VESTA homepage]]. Some of the novel features of VESTA are listed below. | ||
+ | * Deal with multiple structural models, volumetric data, and crystal morphologies in the same window. | ||
+ | * Support multiple tabs corresponding to files. | ||
+ | * Support multiple windows with more than two tabs in the same process. | ||
+ | * Deal with virtually unlimited number of objects such as atoms, bonds polyhedra, and polygons on isosurfaces (theoretical limit on 32bit operating system is 1,073,741,823) | ||
+ | * Support lattice transformation from conventional to non-conventional lattice by using matrix. The transformation matrix is also used to create superlattice and sublattice. | ||
+ | * Visualize interatomic distances and bond angles that are restrained in Rietveld analysis with RIETAN-FP. | ||
+ | * Transparent isosurfaces can be overlap with structural models. | ||
+ | * Isosurface can be colored on the basis of another physical quantity. | ||
+ | * Arithmetic operations among multiple volumetric data files. | ||
+ | * High quality smooth rendering of isosurfaces and sections. | ||
+ | * Export high-resolution graphic images exceeding Video card limitation. | ||

+ | In this project, we use VESTA to look at our crystal structures, check our cif input files, and generate a list of expected peaks for a given structure. |
