Partial Occupation tools
New Lattice-compatible Hermite normal form (
HNF) supercells up to
. If a negative number
n is given, all the supercells with HNF from
2 to
-n will be generated. The online version supports -10 ≤
n ≤ 10.
New Generate HNF size to get the concentration spread of partial occupation within the
tolerance

We want to thank
SWT Technology for donating the new materials.duke.edu server which hosts the aflowlib.org database and the
aconvasp-online engine. With more cores (24) and memory (64GB) we can finally increase the size and number of concurrent online jobs. The queries are also faster.
