I am trying to test the coincidence lattice method for the interface between wurtzite (0001) GaN and cubic diamond (111). How do I rotate the two lattices with respect to one another using VESTA?? I am fairly familiar with the VESTA interface and have used it extensively, just not for something like this. For reference, I am wanting to do something like in figure 4 of this paper (Article Coincidence Lattices of 2D Crystals: Heterostructure Predict...
), where the hexagonal lattice is matched to the cubic lattice (experimental results have told us that the angle is somewhere between 20-25 degrees). The ultimate goal is to create an interface to study thermal transport across the interface using MD simulations in VASP. Thank you in advance for any help/advice.
Hi Mr Welch ,
You can try one thing. In VESTA, go to edit and add details for both of the phases. It will plot both of the unit cells together by default. Then you can change their orientation: Objects -> Orientation. There you can check what uvw or hkl have to be set to get the orientation of 20-25 degrees.
