Abstract. The objective of this paperwork is the development of a crystal lattice parameter identification algorithm, which allows obtaining a more accurate solution compared to the Bravais unit cell estimation algorithm. To achieve the objective, we suggest solving the parameter identification problem using the steepest descent gradient method. The study of the parameter identification accuracy was conducted on a large number of modeled crystal lattices using the edges and angles similarity measures for Bravais unit cells.Keywords: crystal lattice, Bravais unit cell, Wigner-Seitz unit cell, similarity measure, translation vector, parameter identification, gradient steepest descent method.Citation: Shirokanev AS, Kirsh DV, Kupriyanov AV.
