Dear Rietveld list members, free-of-charge reference powder patterns can now be applied in phase identification using the new version 1.7 of "Match!", Crystal Impact's software for phase identification from powder diffraction data. More than 66,400 reference patterns have been calculated from the AMCSD (http://rruff.geo.arizona.edu/AMS/amcsd.php), the COD (http://sdpd.univ-lemans.fr/cod/index.html), and from the CIF-files provided by the IUCr journals (http://journals.iucr.org/). Entries of identified phases can be easily exported in CIF format (incl. atom coordinates!). More information can be found at http://www.crystalimpact.com/match/match17.htm .
A demonstration version of the software as well as several reference pattern databases can be downloaded free-of-charge from http://www.crystalimpact.com/match/download.htm . Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions! Best regards Holger Putz *************************************** Dr. Holger Putz Crystal Impact Dr. K. Brandenburg & Dr. H.
