RMC

Reverse Monte Carlo modelling

RMC is a general method for modelling the structures of disordered materials - liquids, glasses, amorphous materials, disordered crystals - based on experimental data from neutron diffraction, X-ray diffraction and EXAFS. Constraints based on chemical information, NMR, EPR etc can be applied to models. RMC can also be used to model magnetic structures. The development of RMC is suported by the RTD network SCANS under contract HPRI-CT-1999-50013.
