CRYSTMET -- The NRCC Metals Crystallographic Data File
- National Research Council, Ottawa, Ontario (Canada). Canadian Scientific Numeric Database Service

CRYSTMET is a computer-readable database of critically evaluated crystallographic data for metals accompanied by pertinent chemical, physical and bibliographic information. It currently contains about 60,000 entries and covers the literature exhaustively from 1913. Scientific editing of the abstracted entries, consisting of numerous automated and manual checks, is done to ensure consistency with related, previously published studies, to assign structure types where necessary and to help guarantee the accuracy of the data and related information. Analyses of the entries and their distribution across key journals as a function of time show interesting trends in the complexity of the compounds studied as well as in the elements they contain. Two applications of CRYSTMET are the identification of unknowns and the prediction of properties of materials. CRYSTMET is available either online or via license of a private copy from the Canadian Scientific Numeric Database Service (CAN/SND). The indexed online search and analysis system is easy and economical to use yet fast and powerful. Development of a new system is under way combining the capabilities of ORACLE with the flexibility of a modern interface based on the Netscape browsing tool.
