Applications of the Crystallographic Database 'Crystdat' in Materials Science
01 January 1989
Numerical database systems have recently become available on- line. Their enhanced search capabilities and fast retrieval of data make them a valuable tool in research. In particular, the crystallographic database "CRYSTDAT" has proven to be powerful in the identification of crystalline materials.
In conjunction with a single crystal X-ray diffractometer, a qualitative as well as a quantitative phase determination is easily performed. The use of the database will be illustrated in several examples.
