Unit 2.7 - The Software VESTA

Unit 2.7 of our course The Fascination of Crystals and Symmetry

In this unit we will introduce a software that allows the 3D visualization of crystal structures. VESTA can read crystallographic information files (CIFs), Furthermore you can build your own crystal structures by manual input of thelattice parameters, space group and franctional coordinates of the atoms of the crystal.
