PowderCell 2.0 for Windows   W. Kraus & G. Nolze

The given program represents a useful tool for material scientists which are interested in crystal structures and powder diffraction. It enables the processing of general problems in different fields:

Demonstration of the influence of structural parameters, space-group symmetry, used diffraction conditions etc. on a resulting X-ray or neutron diffraction powder pattern.

Specific use e.g. of group-subgroup relations, structure manipulation or a refinement tool to support the solution of crystal structure problems.

Simplifies routine applications like phase identification, quantitative phase analysis, lattice refinement etc. by an intuitive operation, suitable also for non-crystallographers.
