摘要
A FORTRAN program HABIT, which has been developed to aid in morphological predictions of molecular crystals, is described. The program generates a three-dimensional model of the crystal by translating a unit cell along the crystal directions to create a sphere limited by a user-defined radius. By a pairwise summation of the atom-atom interactions between a central molecule and all other molecules inside the sphere, the program calculates the lattice, slice and attachment energies. Since the attachment energy can be used as a measure of relative growth rate, inputting a list of growth faces results in the attachment energy model of the crystal habit. An interface is provided to directly view this predicted morphology using the crystal drawing program SHAPE. A summary detailing the program operation and calculations along with sample results is given.
