...

Additional arguments passed to the calculate_cell_volume methods

Value

A positive numeric, the volume in cubic angstroms of the unit cell corresponding to the input.

Examples

# Create a monoclinic cell
bt <- bravais("mP")
uc <- create_unit_cell(bt)
print(uc)
#> This is an object of class 'unit_cell'
#> Its sides are:
#>       30.000 ,     80.000 ,    100.000    angstroms.
#> Its angles are:
#>       90.000 ,    125.000 ,     90.000    degrees.

# Calculate cell volume
calculate_cell_volume(uc)
