  1. ICDD Release 2008New Features PDF-4+ Using DDView+ 2008 PDF-2 Using DDView 2008

  2. New Features • The 2008 release of ICDD databases boasts an impressive array of new features. This presentation will demonstrate many of these new features using DDView+ 2008 and DDView 2008, ICDD’s own data-mining software. This year, ICDD has: • Increased the power of the user-interface • Added new data and functionality • Optimized searching operations • Enhanced the performance of graphics

  3. Alphabetical Prototype Structure Search • The Prototype Structure searches now include the option of searching on alphabetically ordered formulas Alphabetical order

  4. Alphabetical Prototype Structure Fields • Alphabetically ordered Prototype Structures are now shown on the PDF Card Alphabetically ordered

  5. New Display Fields* • The Search Results form has four new display fields, giving a total of 70 • Ambient/Non-ambient: The ambient or non-ambient conditions under which the pattern was created • Has Atomic Coordinates: Whether or not the pattern contains atomic coordinate data • Prototype Structure (Alpha Order): The alphabetically ordered Prototype Structure • LPF Prototype Structure (Alpha Order): The alphabetically ordered LPF Prototype Structure *PDF-4 only

  6. Enhanced Search Results Table • Abbreviated data has tooltips • Overflowing data shows ellipses “…” • Database Comments use scrollbars* Ellipses Tooltip Scrollbar *PDF-4 only

  7. Graph Individual Elements* • The Graph Fields form can now graph individual element composition for Weight % and Atomic % display fields Graph Zn elements Select individual element *PDF-4 only

  8. Graph Individual Elements* • This is an example of the Graph Fields form, graphing the Author’s Cell a versus weight % of the element Zn Likely concentration of Zn is 15% if a=3.640Å *PDF-4 only

  9. Clickable X-Y Graph Points • PDF Cards and Diffraction Patterns* can now be opened in the Graph Fields form using the X-Y points • Click X-Y points with mouse • Select an area of X-Y points with mouse Select area for PDF Cards or Diffraction Patterns Click for PDF Cards or Diffraction Patterns *PDF-4 only

  10. Footnotes for d-Spacings • The * field, or Footnotes for d-Spacings field, has been added to the PDF Card d-Spacings table • This field shows a number index for a d-Spacing that corresponds to an editor comment • Simply match the number index in the * field with the number index in the Database Comments field

  11. PD3 Patterns* • PD3 patterns are now available for over 2,600 entries, including 44 clay materials • PD3 patterns are experimental powder diffraction raw data for selected: • Nano-crystalline materials • Semi-crystalline materials • Amorphous materials Button for full PD3 pattern PD3 pattern preview *PDF-4 only

  12. PD3 Patterns* • Kaolinite-1A, a clay PD3 pattern *PDF-4 only

  13. Enhanced Diffraction Patterns* • The graphing package has been upgraded for increased speed • Average Energy value is now available for Experimental and Calculated Pattern radiation Average Energy *PDF-4 only

  14. Enhanced Electron Patterns* • The Simulated Electron Patterns now show the approximate intensity via the size of the spot *PDF-4 only

  15. Import Experimental Data in PDF-2 • Importing experimental data into SIeve, ICDD’s search-index plug-in, is now available in DDView 2008 using PDF-2 2008 • These experimental data operations are now available: • Remove background • Smoothing • Peak finding

  16. New SIeve Display Fields • To increase the functionality of the SIeve Matches table, three new display fields have been added • Quality Mark: A flag representing the quality of the pattern • Status: A flag representing the database status of the pattern (Primary, Alternate, or Deleted) • Atomic Coordinates*: Whether or not the pattern contains atomic coordinate data *PDF-4 only
