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.
