Shell: A code for lattice dynamics and structure optimisation of ionic crystals

This paper describes Shell, a program which uses lattice statics and quasiharmonic lattice dynamics to calculate analytically the free energy of a crystal, and its derivatives with respect to both internal and external strains, at a given temperature and pressure. These quantities can be used to per...
