Drawing crystal structure software

Click For Summary
For drawing crystal structures from atomic coordinates, Ovito and AtomEye are recommended as effective visualization software. Both are free and widely used in research. Additionally, Visual Molecular Dynamics (VMD) and Vesta are noted for their utility in basic simulations and preparing input files for ab initio calculations with software like VASP, CASTEP, and Quantum Espresso. Users can easily find these tools online. These options provide valuable features for researchers in materials science.

Hi, is there any software that I can use for drawing a crystal structure from atoms coordinates ?

By draw, I think you mean visualization. Ovito or AtomEye should do the trick. They are free software used by research scientists. You can find them through google.

Two free (but good) software I've used before are Visual Molecular Dynamics (VMD) and Vesta. They contain several other useful features for basic simulations, and are very useful for preparing and checking input files for ab initio materials calculations using VASP, CASTEP and Quantum Espresso.

Thanks I'll try them.
 
Thread 'Unexpected irregular reflection signal from a high-finesse cavity'
I am observing an irregular, aperiodic noise pattern in the reflection signal of a high-finesse optical cavity (finesse ≈ 20,000). The cavity is normally operated using a standard Pound–Drever–Hall (PDH) locking configuration, where an EOM provides phase modulation. The signals shown in the attached figures were recorded with the modulation turned off. Under these conditions, when scanning the laser frequency across a cavity resonance, I expected to observe a simple reflection dip. Instead...
