Notice
This presentation gives an overview of features and
capabilities found in the Powder Diffraction File (PDF),
specifically PDF-4+ Release 2006.
This presentation represents a small portion of the
capabilities in the database. The presentation
focuses on the database and not on the capabilities
of the database when combined with the world’s leading
data analysis programs.
The database itself contains over 500 pages of help
file documentation. This includes definitions and terms
of the classifications and calculations used in the database.

PDF-4+ Basic Capabilities
 PDF-4+ contains 254,873 entries.
 Entries contain > 85 data fields, some fields
such as d, I, h,k,l and atomic parameters may
contain dozens to hundreds of data points.
 There are 65 different data display options.
 There are 44 search options.
Display and search options can be combined and permuted
using a JAVA interface. This results in nearly endless combinations
for data display and analysis, only a few of which are described here.

Powder Diffraction File (PDF)
PDF Databases are designed to work with most
commercial diffraction analysis software packages.
The ICDD works with software distributors so
that the PDF seamlessly interfaces to their software.
Many features in the database are specifically designed
for distributor use.
A list of compatible software and distributors can be found here.

Design & Purpose
8
PDF-4+
All PDF Databases are designed
for rapid material identification.
This differentiates a PDF database
from all other databases of
crystallographic or physical property
data.
If you are working on a known
material another database may
be more appropriate for your work.

Powder Diffraction File
Rapid Material Identification with the PDF
• The database is designed to use input data and match it to
candidate reference materials.
•Most matching is done by comparing sets of d-spacing and Intensities,
however it can also be done by chemistry, properties, structural
and crystallographic classifications – using dozens of different
searches.
•All data are converted to a standardized format for rapid search.
•There are many embedded indexes facilitating searches.
•Data entries are extensively cross referenced to other entries and to
physical and chemical measurements.
•Data are extensively classified by chemical and structural types;
each classification can be searched.

Sources of Data

PDF-4+
The Powder Diffraction File
PDF-4+ Database
Data Sources for the Database
1) Publications, journals, scientific periodicals and theses
2) ICDD Grants for new materials (~60 annual grants)
3) Data collections donated by companies or individuals
4) Data from other Database organizations that they
collect from scientific publications
The Powder Diffraction File contains a compilation of data
from 5 global databases. PDF-4+ uses 4 database sources.
12
PDF-4+
PDF Databases – Continuous
growth and change
 Data on new materials are being constantly collected and published by
laboratories around the world so the PDF database continually grows.
 With time, data quality has steadily improved in both accuracy and
precision. (Better hardware, optics, software and computational power
as a function of time). This leads to improved accuracy in the database
and the diffraction method of analysis.
A major function of the ICDD editorial system is to evaluate quality and
standardize data that has been collected by global sources over decades
of time. The quality evaluations and standardization processes are also
updated continually and the entire database gets reviewed each time.

The PDF-4+ and its subset, PDF-4/Minerals, are the only PDF
databases that contains data from the Linus Pauling File (LPF).
The LPF is currently the largest single global source of inorganic
atomic coordinates and crystallographic parameters.
It is also a large source of data on inorganic materials, many
with unique compositions. This data is added to inorganic
materials data from ICDD, NIST and ICSD to form the
comprehensive data collection in PDF-4+.

Automated Quantitative
Analysis by XRD
PDF-4+ databases provide reference data, viewing
software, critical physical properties and crystallographic
properties required for quantitative analysis.
The database is designed to work with many software
packages, including those of all major global instrument
manufacturers. These software packages provide the
required calculations and refinements for automated
quantitation utilizing the data in PDF-4+. With modern
software and databases this operation is seamless and can
be often be done in minutes.

Why are there 37 primary, star
patterns?
PDF-4+
Answer
Polymorphs, a primary pattern is selected for each different
polymorphic form (~24 different polymorphs).
Different physical properties – the same polymorph may
have slightly different physical properties or chemistry
(i.e. due to calcination). This is especially
common in minerals from different geographic localities.
Difference source, for example mineral or synthetic, powder
or single crystal.
