Abstract

We have recently described the use of the Compact Disk Read Only Memory disk for the storage of data in the Powder Diffraction File (PDF). This work has now been extended to include the NBS (1987) Crystal Data File (CDF). The CDF contains 115,753 entries of which 59,613 are Inorganic materials and 56,140 organic. The data base can be accessed either by means of bit maps built on chemistry and subfile restrictions, or by means of a Boolean search system allowing combinations of search parameters including: chemistry; space group; cell volume; density and unit cell data.
