    BilKristal 2.0: a tool for pattern information extraction from crystal structures
    (Elsevier BV, 2014-01) Okuyan, E.; Güdükbay, Uğur
    We present a revised version of the BilKristal tool of Okuyan et al. (2007). We converted the development environment into Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 in order to resolve compatibility issues. We added multi-core CPU support and improvements are made to graphics functions in order to improve performance. Discovered bugs are fixed and exporting functionality to a material visualization tool is added.

    Pattern information extraction from crystal structures
    (Elsevier BV, 2007) Okuyan, E.; Güdükbay, Uğur; Gülseren, O.
    Determining the crystal structure parameters of a material is an important issue in crystallography and material science. Knowing the crystal structure parameters helps in understanding the physical behavior of material. It can be difficult to obtain crystal parameters for complex structures, particularly those materials that show local symmetry as well as global symmetry. This work provides a tool that extracts crystal parameters such as primitive vectors, basis vectors and space groups from the atomic coordinates of crystal structures. A visualization tool for examining crystals is also provided. Accordingly, this work could help crystallographers, chemists and material scientists to analyze crystal structures efficiently. Program summary: Title of program: BilKristal. Catalogue identifier: ADYU_v1_0. Program summary URL: http://cpc.cs.qub.ac.uk/summaries/ADYU_v1_0. Program obtainable from: CPC Program Library, Queen's University of Belfast, N. Ireland. Licensing provisions: None. Programming language used: C, C++, Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 and OpenGL Libraries. Computer: Personal Computers with Windows operating system. Operating system: Windows XP Professional. RAM: 20-60 MB. No. of lines in distributed program, including test data, etc.:899 779. No. of bytes in distributed program, including test date, etc.:9 271 521. Distribution format:tar.gz. External routines/libraries: Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. For visualization tool, graphics card driver should also support OpenGL. Nature of problem: Determining crystal structure parameters of a material is a quite important issue in crystallography. Knowing the crystal structure parameters helps to understand physical behavior of material. For complex structures, particularly, for materials which also contain local symmetry as well as global symmetry, obtaining crystal parameters can be quite hard. Solution method: The tool extracts crystal parameters such as primitive vectors, basis vectors and identify the space group from atomic coordinates of crystal structures. Restrictions: Assumptions are explained in the paper. However, none of them can be considered as a restriction onto the complexity of the problem. Running time: All the examples presented in the paper take less than 30 seconds on a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 computer. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    A tool for pattern information extraction and defect quantification from crystal structures
    (Elsevier, 2015) Okuyan, E.; Okuyan, E.
    In this paper, we present a revised version of BilKristal 2.0 tool. We added defect quantification functionality to assess crystalline defects. We improved visualization capabilities by adding transparency support and runtime visibility sorting. Discovered bugs are fixed and small performance optimizations are made. New version program summary Program title: BilKristal 3.0 Catalogue identifier: ADYU-v3-0 Program summary URL:http://cpc.cs.qub.ac.uk/summaries/ADYU-v3-0.html Program obtainable from: CPC Program Library, Queen's University, Belfast, N. Ireland Licensing provisions: Standard CPC licence, http://cpc.cs.qub.ac.uk/licence/licence.html No. of lines in distributed program, including test data, etc.: 1868 923 No. of bytes in distributed program, including test data, etc.: 8854 507 Distribution format: tar.gz Programming language: C, C++, Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0 and OpenGL Libraries. Computer: Personal Computers with Windows operating system. Operating system: Windows XP or higher. RAM: 20-60 Megabytes. Classification: 8. Catalogue identifier of previous version: ADYU-v2-0 Journal reference of previous version: Comput. Phys. Comm. 185 (2014) 442 External routines: Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0. For the visualization tool, graphics card driver should also support OpenGL. Does the new version supersede the previous version?: Yes Nature of problem: Determining the crystal structure parameters of a material is a very important issue in crystallography. Knowing the crystal structure parameters helps the understanding of the physical behavior of material. For complex structures, particularly for materials which also contain local symmetry as well as global symmetry, obtaining crystal parameters can be very hard. Solution method: The tool extracts crystal parameters such as primitive vectors, basis vectors and identifies the space group from atomic coordinates of crystal structures. Reasons for new version: Additional features, Compatibility issues with newer development environments, Performance optimizations, Minor bug corrections. Summary of revisions:Defect quantification capability is added. The tool can process the imperfect crystal structures, finds and quantifies the crystalline defects. The tool is capable of finding positional defects, vacancy defects, substitutional impurities and interstitial impurities. The algorithms presented in [3] are used for defect quantification implementation.Transparency support is added to the visualization tool. Users are now allowed to set the transparency of each atom type individually.Runtime visibility sorting functionality is added to facilitate correct transparency computations.Visual Studio 2012 support is added. Visual Studio 2012 specific project files are created and the project is tested with this development environment.In visualization tool, an unused log file was created. This issue is corrected.In visualization tool, some OpenGL calls which are executed at every draw are changed to be executed only when they are needed, improving the visualization performance.Restrictions: Assumptions are explained in [1,2]. However, none of them can be considered as a restriction onto the complexity of the problem. Running time: The tool was able to process input files with more than a million atoms in less than 20 s on a PC with an Athlon quad-core CPU at 3.2 GHz using the default parameter values.
