CaRIne Crystallography

CaRIne Crystallography is a software which interactively deals with several geometrical representations of crystals :

* real lattices in 3D surfaces
* interfaces, grain boundaries
* multi-layers stereographic projection * reciprocal lattices in 2D and 3D X-Ray diffraction patterns (XRD)

Those different functions are usually distributed in several softwares. CaRIne brings them together in a friendly graphic user interface. This is time and cost saving.

Moreover CaRIne displays in a clear way the relations which exist between the different representations which is all the most appreciated among the teaching world.

CaRIne is curently used in 40 countries by more than 2000 teams and laboratories for research and teaching in the physics and chemistry, materials science and earth science fields.

Version 3.1 is the current version used accross the world. It is stable. It runs under windows.
Version 4.0 offers enhanced graphics, space group editing, surface and interface features. It is still in development. It is delivered free with version 3.1. It runs under windows and Linux.
