During last 10 years we were developing methods for structure determination of modulated and composite crystals. These methods were used to create software JANA , which is currently one of the leading systems in the field. Our current project is focused on generalization and utilization of JANA in order to develop a system with unique handling of 3-dimensional as well as multidimensional structures, single domain, multidomain or intergrowth crystals, single crystals or powders, nuclear or magnetic structures. We expect our system will minimize barriers between crystallography of periodic and aperiodic crystals. Fortunately, we just received the new diffractometer Xcalibur delivered by Oxford Instruments.
Several snapshots covering the installation of the device are here .
