Free crystallographic software
 
In this website several software applications are available for free download. There are several types of applications: 
  • Control software (SINGLE) for four-circle diffractometers.

  • Applications to integrate, merge and correct single-crystal X-ray intensity data during data reduction (WIN-INTEGRSTP, ABSORB and AVERAGE).

  • Software to perform EoS and elasticity calculations, including fitting of equations of state to volume data, calculation of strain tensors and host-inclusion calculations (EOSFIT program suite).

  • EntraPT is a web-based application for host-inclusion calculations, hosted at Mineralogy Laboratory website of the University of Pavia.

  • stRAinMAN software to calculate strains from Raman shifts, and vice-versa.

  • Miscellaneous crystallographic tools, including the cifReader to help in the handling and analysis of refinement results from parametric refinements. POWF is a program to convert powder diffraction files from one format to another.

More detailed information is available on each software application page and in the users’ guides.
