_cell.commen_supercell_matrix

Name:
_cell.commen_supercell_matrix

Definition:

   

      For commensurately modulated structures the transformation, T,  
      from the crystallographic axes of the reference structure
      to the supercell generated by the wave vectors expressed as

            (a~s~,b~s~,c~s~) = (a~r~,b~r~,c~r~)T,

      where (a~s~,b~s~,c~s~) and (a~r~,b~r~,c~r~) are the crystallographic
      axes of the supercell and the reference cell, respectively.

Type: Integer

Values appear in Matrix context.

Dimension: [3,3]


Enumeration default: [[1 0 0] [0 1 0] [0 0 1]]
