Crystalz vs Character Table Viewer

Atoms connect in many different ways, a concept that can be difficult to understand without being able to really see what’s going on! Learning and understanding how crystal structures form is precisely one of those topics. Designed by professional educators, Crystalz is the world’s premiere crystal lattice visualization app. Using high definition, three-dimensional models, Crystalz allows the user to view and manipulate all 14 Bravais lattice structures. A perfect textbook companion, this app allows the user to rotate and view the shapes of crystals from any viewpoint as well as see information about cell sizes and angles. Additionally, for the three cubic lattice structures, Crystalz includes two extra viewing modes: a space filling mode that shows the atoms without a wire frame, and a unit cell mode that shows only the portions of the atoms designated to each unit cell. If you’re a chemistry student or just interested in how crystal structures work, then Crystalz is for you!

Never find yourself missing your point-group-symmetry Character Tables from group theory again. The Character Table Viewer app is designed to offer students of Inorganic Chemistry, Quantum Mechanics, and Group Theory ‘at your fingertips’ access to more than 45 Character Tables for the most chemically relevant Symmetry Point Groups. The tables are easy to find and access with an intuitive and simple interface. They are crisp to read and contain all irreducible representations as well as classifications of relevant linear and binary functions important for understanding things like bonding or vibrational motions. You can customize a list of the ones you most commonly use. You can zoom in on the tables and even compare two side-by-side. This is a ‘must have’ app for advanced chemistry and physics students and researchers.
