$\text{Spglib}$: a software library for crystal symmetry search

Abstract

A computer algorithm to search symmetries of crystal structures as implemented in the \texttt{spglib} code is described. An iterative algorithm is employed to robustly identify space group types tolerating a certain amount of distortion in the crystal structures. The source code is distributed under the 3-Clause BSD License, a permissive open-source software license. This paper focuses on the algorithm for identifying the space group symmetry of the crystal structures.
