PDF-4/Axiom 2021
Quality Plus Value
PDF-4/Axiom 2021 is designed for phase identification and quantitation. This cost effective database includes 97,700+ selected data entries and 69,700+ entries with atomic coordinates selected for benchtop users. PDF-4/Axiom features 70,318 entries with I/Ic values for quantitative phase analysis by Reference Intensity Ratio.
PDF-4/Axiom is useful for routine phase identification and quantitation (both by Rietveld and RIR method). PDF-4/Axiom data is focused on ambient entries.
ICDD’s data mining software is included!
ICDD’s search-identification software is not included (available with PDF-4+). PDF-4/Axiom requires diffraction equipment manufacturer or vendor software. If you are using OEM/developer software that depends on PDF-4/Axiom, check that the OEM/developer applications function properly with the new database, and then uninstall the previous version of the PDF-4/Axiom.
PDF-4/Axiom offers an option to purchase two additional seats licensed for three years.
NEW – Six (6) year and nine (9) year prepaid packages.
