Crystal Data File:   CRY

Synopsis

[-]cry   <file name>

Description

This keyword defines the pathname of a disk file that contains the crystal data needed to define the atomic positions in the crystal.

Data input follows the rules specified in Chapter “Data Inputexternal link”. In particular, any line beginning with either ! or # is a comment line, and data are provided in the form of a keyword followed by arguments. The following data types are usually required:

Remarks

The "cry" file provides PAMoC with data needed to build up a crystal, i.e. to define the positions of atoms in the crystal. Afterwards, PAMoC will be able to estimate the interaction energy of molecular dimers in the crystal as well as the cohesive energy of the crystal. These data must be provided, for instance, when the interface data file (IDF) is an AIMPAC wavefunction file.

Example 1

The following two inputs define the crystal by specifying the latticeexternal link type and the symmetryexternal link operations. They differ from each other only in the syntax used to insert the symmetry operations.
