Overview

The Nanocrystallography Database (NCD) is a collection of crystal structure data, primarily focused on nanomaterials, minerals, and zeolites. It is closely affiliated with the Crystallography Open Database (COD) and provides an open-access platform for identifying and retrieving crystallographic information (CIF files).

Scientific domain: Crystallography, database, nanomaterials Target user community: Crystallographers, mineralogists, materials scientists

Capabilities

• Database: Searchable collection of crystal structures.
• Focus: Nanocrystalline materials and minerals.
• Open Access: Freely available data.
• Visualization: Integrated 3D structure visualization.

Interfaces & Ecosystem

• COD: Part of the Crystallography Open Database ecosystem.
• CIF: Uses the standard Crystallographic Information File format.

Workflow and Usage

1. Access the web interface.
2. Search for materials by composition, unit cell, or name.
3. Download CIF files for use in simulation software.
