PowderCell as teaching tool
- PowderCell represents a user friendly program which supports the solution of scientific problems as well as teaching and education. Especially for the last one the program offers a lot of information regarding the space-group type as well as crystal structure used. Therefore, on some universities the program is used successfully to make students familiar with x-ray crystallography. The quasi-simultaneous diffraction pattern simulation visualized the changes caused by the respective crystal structure. However, it is also possible to vary different diffraction parameters and investigate the resulting changes in the interference intensity or the reflection position. In principle, the aim of the program is the intuitive generation of structure models. Therefore, special tools have been implemented to move (rotate or shift) or transform the crystal structure.
