Expo2004: General Information

Expo2004 is a package aiming at solving ab-initio crystal structures from powder data by direct methods (see Background of the system).

X-ray, synchrotron or neutron diffraction data can be used.  No limit is on the number of counts in the experimental pattern; the program can manage up to 3000 reflections, 500 atoms in the asymmetric unit.

    The program has been designed to:
          require a minimal information as input
          work automatically
          reduce the user intervention and facilitate the interaction by means of a user-friendly graphic interface .

The program is available for Microsoft Windows and Unix (SGI, Compaq, Linux and others) platforms (see Notes on the implementation).
