CIF2Cell Description

Generating cells for electronic structure calculations from CIF files CIF2Cell is a tool to generate the geometrical setup for various electronic structure codes from a CIF (Crystallographic Information Framework) file. The program currently supports output for a number of popular electronic structure programs, including ABINIT, ASE, CASTEP, CP2K, CPMD, CRYSTAL09, Elk, Exciting, Fleur, FHI-aims, RSPt, Siesta, SPR-KKR, VASP and xyz-files. The program has been published in Computer Physics Communications 182 (2011) 1183–1186. Please cite generously. Features: - Generation of crystallographic cells from CIF file data - Exports many different electronic structure program formats (abinit, ASE, CASTEP, CP2K, CPMD, Crystal09, Elk, EMTO, Exciting, FHI-aims, Fleur, RSPt, Siesta, SPR-KKR, VASP, xyz) - Advanced supercell generation - Manual/Tutorial - Stability tested against the Crystallography Open Database and ICSD. - Documented soure code
