QREFGEN

(page last modified on October 14,1996)

This program is a utility for producing sets of possible wave vectors for several quasicrystal space groups. It is possible to constrain the theta range and the maximum internal component q_i . The program also tries to obey the corresponding reflection conditions. The criteria for that are based on the following two papers: (1) A.Yamamoto: Crystallography of Quasiperiodic Crystals, Acta.Cryst.(1996), A52,509-560; (2) Rabson, Mermin, Rokshar, Wright: The space groups of axial crystals and quasicrystals, Rev.Mod.Phys.(1991), Vol.63,No.3,699

graphics output

spot radius is inversely proportional to the internal space component of the wave vector
it is known that small internal components q_i give stronger reflections
