      Data Analysis
    • MDI's Jade software which automates many traditional powder diffraction analysis, such as search-match, peak profile, quantitation with whole profile fitting, etc.
    • International Center for Diffraction Data's Powder Diffraction File (PDF-2) database consisting of more than 70,000 inorganic entries.
    • International Crystal Structure Database with more than 80,000 entries.
