Training material

The best way of learning is to sit in a training class.  Unfortunately either because short of fund on my personal side or on the employer side or on both side, I never got a chance to going to any of the these software training classes.  [Certainly in the remote past, I took several semesters of crystallography and mineralogy, and a semester of x ray diffraction in graduate school].  Thinking about the translations and rotations of the atoms really helps when having a hard time sleeping.

Training material on BGMN:

and their papers in 2004 and 2012 (I'll put the links here)

(the following is my personal opinion.  you may completely disagree)

The 2004 paper's highlight: supercell and separate treatments of 00l and hkl

The 2012 paper's highlight: mixed-layer illite/smectite with random or ordered stratification (variation of reichweite number from 0 to 3); linked model (or shared parameters) between the two structures. My dream a while back was to combine newmod and wildfire together with refinable parameters; now it comes true.
