Abstract

The Level III Powder Diffraction File Computer Database can be used for many purposes beyond phase identification. The data file as received from the ICDD must be implemented via a data management system for efficient utilization. The results of one such implementation, and applications using the Mineral Powder Diffraction Subfile are reported. The applications include studies of space group statistics and density distributions as well as searches for cubic sulfide and uniaxial potentially pyroelectric minerals.
