A comprehensive review of phases found in the Sr–Nd–Cu–O system which contains the high Tc superconductor phase Sr1−xNdxCuO2 has been prepared. This paper summarizes the crystal structures reported in the literature and the X-ray powder diffraction patterns reported in the ICDD Powder Diffraction File (PDF). In order to supplement the PDF with new patterns, calculated X-ray powder diffraction patterns generated from reported structures are provided for five ternary oxides: Sr0.86Nd0.14CuO2, SrNdCuO3.5, Sr6Nd3Cu6O17, Sr2NdCu2O5.66, and Sr1.2Nd1.8Cu2O6.
