Abstract
Crystal Viewer enables the interactive visualization different Bravais lattices, crystal planes, and materials (diamond, silicon, indium arsenide, gallium arsenide, copper, rocksalt etc) and visualizes 14 Bravais lattices. Users can see typical "Text Book" unit cells, primitive unit cells and visualize how the primitive cell makes up a larger structure. Users can also see a larger chunk of crystal into which they can lay in Miller planes and move these planes around.
The Bravais lattice visualization
The new Crystal Viewer Lab provides the user with a new interactive experience. compared to the legacy Crystal Viewer. New Lab immediately provides different visualizations since crystals are preloaded into the tool. The user can explore results immediately without running a simulation and different output selections are now accessible with more intuitive buttons, instead of Dropdown menus.
Users can still configure the crystal sizes, lattice angles etc in a settings menu. If these requests are not already precomputed the new tool sends a computational request to the original "Crystal Viewer" tool as a service. This computing is completely transparent to the user.
