Welcome to
The RODGUI homepage
From a MEMO (Friday, Jun 20, 1997):
To my knowledge, it does not exist in the world a general program of
Surface Crystallography that allows to analyse problems which are
found in experiments that are done these days at the ESRF and other
facilities. The most generally used program (at least in Europe) is
named ROD and has been written by E. Vlieg (one of the responsibles of
the DUBBLE CRG beamline) and implemented by a number of other
people. This program is the one used in ID3.
However, due to the fact
that the present available version consists in a superposition of
parts without a clear structural organization inside the program, ROD
is not a friendly program for a non specialised user. Due to this, a
number of experiments in surface crystallography done in ID3 have not
been succesfully analysed either because ROD has not the necessary
options or because the user gets confused in the operation of the
program...
