abtem.atoms.standardize_cell(atoms, tol=1e-12)[source]#

Standardize the cell of given atoms. The atoms are rotated so that one of the lattice vectors in the xy-plane is aligned with the x-axis, and then all the lattice vectors are made positive.

Parameters:
  • atoms (ase.Atoms) – The atoms that should be standardized.

  • tol (float) – Components of the lattice vectors whose magnitude is below this value are considered to be zero.

Returns:

atoms – The standardized atoms.

Return type:

ase.Atoms
