A library related to the symmetry of crystal structures. By providing a crystal structure, Spglib can detect information related to the symmetry of the structure, such as symmetry operations, a space group and a primitive cell. It can also generate irreducible wave numbers. Spglib is written in C, but various interfaces are available, including Python, Fortran, and Rust.
A tool for generating wavevector paths in band calculations of solids. It identifies high-symmetry points in reciprocal space based on the symmetry of the crystal and provides a standardized “path” connecting them. It supports various crystal structure formats (such as POSCAR and CIF) and is compatible with many electronic structure calculation software (e.g., VASP, Quantum ESPRESSO, ABINIT). A web-based interface is also available.
