The Powder Diffraction File: Past, Present, and Future
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Powder Diffraction file has been the primary reference for Powder Diffraction Data for more than half a century. The file is a collection of about 65 000 reduced powder patterns stored as sets of d/I data along with the appropriate crystallographic, physical and experimental information. This paper reviews the development and growth of the PDF and discusses the role of the ICDD in the maintenance and dissemination of the file.

New Powder Diffraction File (PDF-4) in relational database format: advantages and data-mining capabilities.
The International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD) is responding to the changing needs in powder diffraction and materials analysis by developing the Powder Diffraction File (PDF) in a very flexible relational database (RDB) format. The PDF now contains 136,895 powder diffraction patterns. In this paper, an attempt is made to give an overview of the PDF-4, search/match methods and the advanta...
متن کاملPowder diffraction from a continuous microjet of submicrometer protein crystals.
Atomic-resolution structures from small proteins have recently been determined from high-quality powder diffraction patterns using a combination of stereochemical restraints and Rietveld refinement [Von Dreele (2007), J. Appl. Cryst. 40, 133-143; Margiolaki et al. (2007), J. Am. Chem. Soc. 129, 11865-11871]. While powder diffraction data have been obtained from batch samples of small crystal-su...

متن کاملData Mining the Powder Diffraction File, Present and Future Capabilities
The objective of data mining is to sort through large amounts of data in order to find a particular result that the user is searching for. As the size of the database being searched grows the probability of finding the result increases. However the path traveled to find the result may get more difficult. There are many challenges in deciding which turn to take, and information to keep, in the s...
