CRYSTAL
CRYSTAL is a
quantum chemistry ab initio program, designed primarily for calculations on crystals (3 dimensions), slabs (2 dimensions) and polymers (1 dimension) using translational symmetry, but it can be used for single molecules. It is written by V.R. Saunders, R. Dovesi, C. Roetti, R. Orlando, C.M. Zicovich-Wilson, N.M. Harrison, K. Doll, B. Civalleri, I.J. Bush, Ph. D’Arco, and M. Llunell from Theoretical Chemistry Group at the
University of Torino and the Computational Materials Science Group at the
Daresbury Laboratory near
Warrington in
Cheshire,
England. The current version is CRYSTAL06. Earlier versions were CRYSTAL92, CRYSTAL95, CRYSTAL98 and CRYSTAL03.

Crystal
In
chemistry and
mineralogy, a crystal is a
solid in which the constituent
atoms,
molecules, or
ions are packed in a regularly ordered, repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions.The word crystal originates from the Greek word "Krystallos" meaning clear
ice, as it was thought to be an especially solid form of
water. The word once referred particularly to
quartz, or "rock crystal". Most metals encountered in everyday life are
polycrystals. Crystals are often symmetrically intergrown to form
crystal twins.'''
