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)
