MINCRYST – original correlative combination of Crystal Structure DataBase,
Calculated Powder X-ray
Diffraction
Standard Subbase and Applied Program Package.
Information Fund contains 4750 entries (more 2300 unique names and
more 2300 varieties on composition,
structure
and T-, P-conditions of synthesis).
In
WWW-version:
Information Card includes: Name, Specification, Crystal Chemical Formula,
Space Group, Z,
Unit
Cell Parameters, Coordinates of Atomic Position, References, etc.
Search
on chemical composition and crystal chemical characteristics are realized.
Special
search regime allows to identify your sample on set of experimental d(hkl)
in view of
chemical
composition.
Calculated X-ray Powder Diffraction Standards and Patterns in full and
short forms, as well as
Images of Crystal Structure Model and X-ray Powder Diffraction Line
Diagram can be displayed
(Java
1.1, or later, support is required: Netscape or MSIE 4.0, or later, are
recommended).
For local PC version of MINCRYST included Applied Program Package is available.

**** GEO GUIDE
"Geo-Guide is a subject gateway to online information sources on Earth
Sciences
(including Thematic Maps and Geography).
The main goal is to index and catalog "high quality" internet resources
in a searchable database.
We are looking for online resources in the internet and selecting those
which are of interest in the respective areas
for undergraduates through faculty".

The Virtual Museum of Minerals and Molecules™
The Virtual Museum of Minerals and Molecules™ is a web-based focal
point and resource for 3-D visualizations of molecules and minerals. The
visualizations utilize the Chime® web browser plug-in viewer which allows
them to be interactively zoomed and rotated so they can be viewed from
all angles, much as with a real molecule. They can also be programmed with
highlighting features that allow identification of specific atoms, structural
sub-components, and mineralogical planes.
The 3-D visualizations are incorporated into stand-alone HTML (WWW)
instructional modules that combine text, graphics, molecular formulae,
highlighting features, electron micrographs, and other appropriate instructional
aids and materials.
Availability and Distribution
These modules will be offered free for instructional use. Interested
individuals may view them with any appropriate web browser (Netscape or
Microsoft Explorer running on PC or Macintosh or SGI-IRIX [this is an older
version of the plug-in and is no longer supported]) as long as the Chime
plug-in is properly installed. Although the visualizations are research-quality,
they can be readily transmitted across the internet due to their small
size: most modules are less than 10 Kbytes in size. All necessary software
is currently free and may be downloaded by following links from the museum
site.
Future Plans
We plan to eventually develop visualizations and instructional modules
of all of the most important molecules and minerals in Soil Science. We
will also gladly accept and collect modules on related topics from other
individuals.

" A truly outstanding resourse ...The database was put together by Dr.
Anatoly Chichagov and Dmitry A. Varlamov, both of the Russian
Academy of Sciences and is supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic
Research. A truly outstanding collection of data. Thank you, we have used
it extensively".
* Mineralogy Database (Barthelmy)
"This site offers a mineralogy database of over 5,000
pages of mineral data
with
information on all known mineral species.
About 4,000 individual mineral species data descriptions are sorted by
crystallography, chemical
composition,
physical and optical properties, Dana's New classification, Strunz classification,
and alphabetical
listings.
Additional resources include selected mineral definitions, related links
and photos of some minerals".

ZEOLITES
Database of Zeolite Structures
The database of the Structure Commission of the International Zeolite Association
provides structural
information on all zeolite structure types.
This includes crystallographic data and drawings for all zeolite topologies,
simulated powder patterns
for representative materials and relevant references.

Structure Data, Under constraction
(University of Colorado)
"I am in the process of assembing a Mineral Structures Data Base.
I
am hoping to compile crystallographic and physical property data for most
of the rock-forming minerals.
The
rationale in selecting mineral groups for inclusion in this database is
abundance, although rarer minerals
that
are isotructural with abundant species are commonly included for comparison
of structural variation"
"American
Mineralogist" Crystal Structure Database (Under
constraction)
This site is still under construction.
All data from 1915 through
1998 has been double-checked.
Let me know if you find
any data in this time period that is bad. I will fix it right away.
(However, due to hard disk
failure, I lost the double-checked data from 1985-1988. I will need to
do this again.)
