GetCrystalMetric

GetCrystalMetric[{a,b,c,α,β,γ}]
returns the metric for the given lattice parameters a,b,c,α,β,γ.
GetCrystalMetric[crystal]
returns the metric for crystal.
Details and OptionsDetails and Options
- The metric matrix contains all the information of the lattice.
- Lattice parameters given directly may be numeric or quantities.
- crystal must exist in $CrystalData.
- If any of the interaxial angles (α,β,γ) have a numeric value greater than
, the angles are assumed to be given in degrees.
- Available option:
-
"Space" "Direct" return values for "Direct" or "Reciprocal" space "ToCartesian" False whether to return the transformation matrix to a Cartesian base - The output resulting from "ToCartesian"True are the corresponding Cartesian basis vectors of the unit cell, as column vectors
