Crystal Creator

Crystal creator is a standalone user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) that uses both kinetic and thermodynamic Wulff constructions to generate a dipole array for complex shapes, as well as the necessary input files for DDSCAT-based numerical approaches. Key advances offered by this approach, in addition to simplicity, are the ability to create crystallographically correct structures and the addition of a conformal shell on complex shapes.

Here you can download the Matlab source code or alternatively use the (free) Matlab R2018b runtime software and download Crystal Creator as a stand-alone executable program.
