Interactive 3D Crystal Viewer

Measurement Tool: Click any atom in the scene to select it. Click a second atom to compute the Euclidean distance between their coordinates. Click empty space to reset.

Scientific Assumptions & Methodology

  • Structure is displayed inside the coordinate space generated by cell parameter lengths and angle matrices.
  • CPK standard coloring is applied to visualize different elemental phases.
  • Measurements show direct straight-line Euclidean distance between clicked atomic nuclei.

Limitations & Educational Warnings

  • Advanced symmetry operations (equivalent sites expansions beyond CIF entries) are not performed in v1.
  • Large structure uploads with thousands of coordinates will be heavy and should be avoided.
