CIF2Cell: Generating geometries for electronic structure programs

This program has been imported from the CPC Program Library held at Queen's University Belfast (1969-2018)

Abstract
The CIF2Cell program generates the geometrical setup for a number of electronic structure programs based on the crystallographic information in a Crystallographic Information Framework (CIF) file. The program will retrieve the space group number, Wyckoff positions and crystallographic parameters, make a sensible choice for Bravais lattice vectors (primitive or principal cell) and generate all atomic positions. Supercells can be generated and alloys are handled gracefully. The code currently h...
