Learn how two FORTRAN programs predict and evaluate how crystal patterns align in polycrystals, for better understanding of epitaxy and twinning.
This technical guide explains two computer programs written in FORTRAN V for the UNIVAC 1108. It shows how MATCH1 finds all matching networks between unit cell lattices and ranks them by dimenional fit. MATCH2 then assesses the quality of structural matches using atom slices and vector environments. A third program, MATCH3, is described as a future development to handle more complex twinning cases. The material is practical for researchers studying crystal structures and pattern recognition in materials science.
Ideal for readers of computational chemistry and materials science who work with crystal structures and epitaxy.
