Have FDTD methods made inroads into dynamical simulation of electron and/or X-ray scattering by crystals?
I'm afraid this question might be too basic or too naive or both, but here goes!
For optical diffraction by periodic nano-structures (gratings, semiconductor manufacturing metrology) the rigorous ...

How do I identify an oblique surface mesh?
I have drawn three surface meshes from a hexagonal material for the $(0001)$, $(1\bar{1}00)$ and $(1\bar{1}01)$.
The first one would be the top horizontal surface of the hexagonal structure, the ...

Database (or table) of functions obeying symmetry properties of space groups
I'm looking for a table or database containing mathematical functions that belong to crystallographic space groups by having the same symmetry elements.
Imagine a 2D square planar lattice. It has a 4-...

Straightforward formalism to get sets of lattice vectors of fcc (111), (110) and (100) facet surfaces that I can also cite?
I am simulating low energy electron diffraction (LEED) from a polyfaceted sample. Usually it's a single, well-defined flat crystalline surface.
Since low energy electrons (below a few hundred eV) only ...

How to transform a perturbed surface structure to a reference surface structure?
Say I have a bulk FCC Pt structure obtained from Materials Project with a lattice constant a = 3.94 Å. I first did DFT to relax the bulk structure, and the optimized lattice constant becomes for ...
