The Pauling File, binaries edition

The Pauling File project was launched in 1995 with the aim to create tools for scientists working with inorganic compounds, with particular focus on materials design. As a first step, a comprehensive, phase-oriented database is being built up. It groups four categories of data under the retrieval software: constitution data, crystal structure data, powder diffraction data, and a broad range of physical properties. The project will cover all binary, ternary and multinary, non-organic compounds (no C-H bonds), but the first edition is limited to binary compounds. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
