MATVIS ©

MATVIS allows the representation of several crystal structures of metals and ceramics.

All of these structures can be moved, rotated and animated in a three dimensional space. There are also several preset views. Both keyboard and mouse can be used for input. A menu window can be displayed and placed anywhere in the screen to receive mouse commands.

The structures have been divided in two groups; basic structures and all structures.

Basic structures are: Simple Cubic, Body Centered Cubic, Face Centered Cubic, Rock-Salt, Diamond / Zinc blend, Perovskite, Spinel, Inverse Spinel, and Fluorite structures.

The program contains information for all room temperature possible single element crystal structures, the most common binary structures (CsCl, NaCl, FeO, ZnS, CaF2 and ZrO2), and the most common ternary structures (MgAl2O4, BaTiO3 and FeFe2O4).
