ELATE: Elastic tensor analysis
Welcome to ELATE, the online tool for analysis of elastic tensors, developed by Romain Gaillac and François-Xavier Coudert at CNRS / Chimie
ParisTech.
If you use the software in published results (paper, conference, etc.), please cite the corresponding paper (J. Phys. Condens. Matter, 2016, 28, 275201) and give the
website URL.
ELATE is open source software. Any queries or comments are welcome at
