[XtalOpt-devel] XtalOpt tutorials

[Sabino Maggi]

First of all thanks for this great tool. It seems really interesting and 
much more user-friendly than competing applications.

I admit I haven't read the whole paper because I wanted to rush to try 
your application. So excuse me if this information can be found 
somewhere in the paper.

I have some competence is crystal structure determination but (almost) 
none on ab-initio calculations, so my first questions are:

- where do I find potentials for atoms such as C, N and O, or how can I 
calculate them?

- do you think it is possible try try to use XtalOpt for finding 
structures similar to those used for the CSP blind tests (e.g, Day, Acta 
Cryst B65, pp. 107-125 (2009))?

Thanks in advance
Sabino Maggi
