Geochemistry: an Online Textbook, by William M. White, Cornell University

Database

Powder diffraction file [CD-ROM], International Centre for Diffraction Data.  Available by checking out Laptop#1 from the Sherman Fairchild Library Circulation Desk)

The PDF-2 Database is a collection of single-phase X-ray powder diffraction patterns in the form of tables of interplanar spacings (d) and relative intensities (Int) and chemical name and formula as well as mineral name, if applicable. In addition, Miller indices, cell data and physical properties are listed, together with references for source information, where such data are available. As of Set 46, the total PDF-2 database contains about 77,500 active patterns, the overwhelming majority of which represent unique phases.
