    Algorithm Lattice
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on creating a body-centered cubic (BCC) lattice using Fortran code for simulation purposes. The original poster seeks guidance on writing 3D lattice coordinates, having previously implemented a simple cubic lattice but struggling with BCC. Participants suggest clarifying the simulation's focus, such as electronic transport or phonon propagation, to provide more tailored advice. Resources are shared, including links to projects on Tight Binding and Empirical Pseudopotential methods, which may offer relevant documentation and examples. Additionally, references to advanced methods like Augmented Plane Waves and Korringa–Kohn–Rostoker are mentioned, indicating that while they are more complex, they share similarities in lattice implementation.

TL;DR Summary
Can anybody help me on how to create a bcc lattice using fortran code.
I need to write a code for my simulation for which I have to create bcc lattice. Can anybody suggest how I can start since I am jumbled up this 3d lattice coordinate writing?

What are you going to simulate? Electronic transport, phonon propagation, X-ray diffraction, what?

I have to create primitive lattices in Fortran just for learning and the beginning of simulation for which I had already created simple cubic lattice but in bcc, I am having trouble. For reference, I can attach the code for sc that I had written...
 
FCC and BCC are relatively easy to implement.
Check out my projects on Tight Binding https://compphys.go.ro/tight-binding/ and/or Empirical Pseudopotential https://compphys.go.ro/empirical-pseudopotential/ . Some referred documentation there might help.
Also the Augmented Plane Waves post and project and/or Korringa–Kohn–Rostoker method post and project might help, although those are a little more advanced. But the lattice implementation is similar, in this case it's particularized on the FCC lattice for Cu.

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'
I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
