CRYSTAL IMPACT Homepage DIAMOND - Visual Crystal Structure Information System ENDEAVOUR - Structure Solution from Powder Diffraction MATCH! - Phase Identification from Powder Diffraction

MATCH! FEATURE LIST

Functions

  • Fast single and multiple phase identification from powder diffraction data based on ICDD PDF2 database
  • Automatic residual searching with respect to already identified phases
  • Searching of complete PDF2 database or subfile(s)
  • Automatic raw data processing: α2-stripping, background subtraction, peak search, error correction
  • Comfortable manual editing of peaks (add/shift/delete) using mouse or keyboard
  • Uses peak data and optionally raw (profile) data simultaneously
  • Semi-quantitative analysis (Reference Intensity Ratio method)
  • Integrated PDF2 database retrieval system and viewer for PDF2 datasheets
  • Straight-forward usage of additional knowledge (composition, crystallographic data, color, density etc.)
  • Explicit searching for entries with peaks at certain positions
  • Multiple step undo/redo
  • User-configurable automatic data processing
  • Full parameter control with instant rearrangement of the results list
  • Automatic d-value shifting during search-match process (optionally)
  • Intensity contribution to figure-of-merit can be reduced for preferred-orientation cases
  • Comfortable graphical and tabular comparison of peak data and candidate patterns
  • Mouse-controlled pattern graphics zooming and tracking
  • User-configurable HTML-reports
  • Supported diffraction data file formats: Stoe (*.raw, *.pks), Philips/ PANalytical (*.rd, *.udf, *.udi), Bruker/Siemens V3 (*.raw), Siemens (*.uxd), DBWS (*.rfl, *.dat), ASCII profile (start, step, intensities or 2 columns), ENDEAVOUR peak list (2 columns: 2theta/d intensity; *.dif)
