The International Centre
for Diffraction Data
The International Centre for Diffraction Data® (ICDD®) is a non-profit scientific organization dedicated to collecting, editing, publishing, and distributing powder diffraction data for the identification of crystalline materials. The membership of the ICDD consists of worldwide representation from academe, government, and industry.
Our Vision - The International Centre for Diffraction Data will continue to develop tools and support the education required for materials analyses of tomorrow.
Our Mission - The International Centre for Diffraction Data will continue to be the world center for quality diffraction and related data to meet the needs of the technical community. ICDD promotes the application of materials characterization methods in science and technology by providing forums for the exchange of ideas and information.

Opportunities
Submit Your Dissertation and Get Published!
Need to get published? Working on a dissertation that contains a powder diffraction pattern? Why not submit your dissertation to the International Centre for Diffraction, publishers of the Powder Diffraction File to get your diffraction patterns published?
If you have single-phase X-ray powder diffraction pattern(s) in your dissertation and submit a copy of your dissertation to ICDD, we will review your pattern(s) ASAP. Once all pertinent data is obtained, we will process your entry through our four-tier editorial review system. If accepted by the ICDD Editorial Team, you will receive a PDF number as proof of publication.
So let us help you jump-start your career – contribute your powder patterns to the PDF!
