Atoms crystallography software

  • What determines the shape of a crystal?

    The shapes of crystals are determined by a number of factors such as the size and length of their surfaces (known as 'faces') and edges, as well as the angles between these.
    These shapes are named after their geometry - for example, crystals based on cubes belong to the 'cubic or isometric' crystal group..

  • The crystal structure consists of the same group of atoms, the basis, positioned around each and every lattice point.
    This group of atoms therefore repeats indefinitely in three dimensions according to the arrangement of one of the Bravais lattices.
ATOMS is a program for drawing all types of atomic structures, including crystals, polymers and molecules. It can make fully "three-dimensional" color drawings 

Does atoms support stereo viewing?

The ATOMS V6 5 and SHAPE V7

4 releases for Windows support many of the new displays through quad-buffered OpenGL and Direct3D

As of June 2011 ATOMS and SHAPE support Stereo viewing with Direct3D in a window as well as fullscreen

See the Stereo Viewing page for more details

Movie Files

What's new in atom simulation?

New for Versions 6 0 and 6 1

Additions include rotation movies, POV-Ray files, magnetic wave vector simulation, randomized atom properties for simulating solid solutions, new atom deletion tool, general planes and cylinders in 3D mode and z-matrix input for generation of molecules

New for Versions 6 2 and 6 3

Why should you use crystalmaker X?

Multiple View "bookmarks" and undo levels encourage exploration and discovery - ideal for teaching and research

CrystalMaker X includes an integrated structures library with some 1200 structures: annotated, indexed and with previews - ready for immediate display
