Crystal space analysis by means of Voronoi-Dirichlet polyhedra

The method of analysis of crystal space topology by means of Voronoi-Dirichlet tessellation is described. The possibilities of using Voronoi-Dirichlet polyhedra in the investigation of local and global geometrical/topological properties of the crystal lattice in structures of simple and complex substances are discussed. Examples of the application of the proposed method in crystal-chemical analysis are given.
