Classification: 7.4.

Nature of problem:
Using NIXSW experimental data to calculate atomic positions of adsorbates.

Data from substrates must have cubic, tetragonal or orthorhombic crystal structures i.e. with 90° between conventional cell axes.

Running time:
Seconds-Minutes dependant on the number of plane waves and the number of atomic sites.
