PDF-2 Release 2009 - Purchase

PDF-2 Release 2009, the latest installment of the historic Powder Diffraction File, is designed for inorganic materials analyses using automated diffractometers. For PDF-2 Release 2009, the number of display fields has tripled from 8 to 24 to facilitate more data mining options. Release 2009 contains data from the ICDD experimental powder data collection, as well as data collected, edited and standardized from the NIST and ICSD databases. Many common organic materials from the ICDD are added to this database to facilitate rapid material identification.

New Features:

• Tripled the number of display fields from 8 to 24
• Added Structural Formula and Empirical Formula to PDF entries
• Added Author’s Cell Molecular/ Formula Unit Volume to PDF entries

Retrieval software, such as ICDD’s DDView or developers’ software, must be used to convert the data from PDF-2 into readable forms. Customers using ICDD’s support software (DDView and SIeve) need to purchase the current versions of the support software. Retrieval software offering search/match capabilities is available from ICDD’s licensed distributors and equipment manufacturers. Check with your software vendor to confirm software compatibility when purchasing or renewing to Release 2009. Pricing is available for multiyear & site licenses.
