The goal of this project is to provide 3D visualizations of crystal structures and morphologies in order to help educating future materials scientists and engineers worldwide. This website is also used for research purposes by the Nano-Crystallography Group and in class room demonstrations of introductory materials science and engineering courses at Portland State University (PSU). All collected data are freely available over the internet.
Milestones:
- July--August 2008: Enhanced lattice-fringe fingerprinting display and matching added
- June 2008: Wikipedia entry 'crystallographic database' written
- July--August 2007: New version of Jmol supports stereo viewing, Wiki Crystallography Database and Crystal Morphology Database created
- July--August 2006: General cleaning up of data, Nano-Crystallography Database created
- July 2005--December 2006: Some 500 CIFs created and uploaded
- July 2004: Project started, entries from subset of COD can be displayed in 3D using Jmol
