Pearson's Crystal Structure Database on DVD

Pearson’s Crystal Structure Database on DVD

This crystallographic database is an essential tool for scientists and engineers working with inorganic materials. It is the world's largest database containing critically evaluated crystallographic and derived data for intermetallics, oxides, halides, minerals, and other inorganic compounds.

 

THE 2018-2019 RELEASE CONTAINS:

319,000 entries for about 180,200 different chemical formula. The database provides approximately 19,400 experimental powder diffraction patterns, and about 297,000 calculated patterns (interplanar spacings, intensities, Miller indices).

In addition, more than 46,000 figure descriptions for cell parameters as a function of temperature, pressure, or concentration are given. To reach these results, scientific editors have critically analyzed and processed more than 103,200 original publications.

Innovative software developed by Crystal Impact offers a large variety of elaborate features for easy retrieval of desired information.

 

Description

Interpretation of chemical and/or physical properties of chemical compounds is downright impossible without any knowledge of the crystal structure of the compound. It is essential that we have tools for checking the data against the crystallographic rules. The Pearson's Crystal Data ®DVD is the perfect tool for you. Pearson’s Crystal Data DVD, a crystallographic database published by ASM International, contains crystal structures of a large variety of inorganic materials and compounds.

·Edited by Pierre Villars and Karin Cenzual.
