UCV6 is a shareware developed to calculate unit cell volume of intermetallic compounds AxByCz.
It uses solute atomic volume and volume size factors.
Atomic volumes and volume size factors are read from VOL12.txt and VOL22.txt files,respectively.
Additional atomic volumes and volume size factors values can be added to these files.
Calculated values are saved in vol51.txt file.


Equations used in this program are taken from:
O.Coreno-Alonso, “Unit cell volume of intermetallic compounds Calculated using volume size factors ”  
Intermetallics, v. 14, 475-482  (2006).

This program was developed only for academic purposes and the user is responsible for its use.
The program was tested using data, for the 122 intermetallic compounds reported 
in the before cited paper,and an average error of 3.16% was obtained.
Any suggestion to improve this program can be sent to:
