Defects Matter / hkl reflections - hk bands

Defects Matter allows for the calculation of hkl reflections / hk bands from defective (or not) lamellar (or not) structures.
Tutorials are also available for download.

Mathematical formalism is inherited from the pioneering work of :
 Victor A. Drits (Moscow)
 Alain Plançon (Orléans)
 Boris A. Sakharov (Moscow)

Additional features (micro-strains, CSD size distribution) were implemented by :
 Bruno Lanson (Grenoble)

The Graphical user interface was developed mainly by :
 Sylvain Grangeon (Orléans)
