A new Metals and Alloys (M&A) Indexes to the Powder Diffraction File (PDF) has been developed. These indexes will be immediately useful to material scientists because the indexes share many features with references such as Hansen, Elliot, Shunk, Pearson, and Villars and Calvert. These indexes, as contained in the Search Manual, may be used independently or in conjunction with the Powder Diffraction File. The book contains four indexes: two contain data for all materials in the M&A PDF, and two contain supporting data. The permuted-sort Alphabetical Formula Index brings together all entries containing a given element in alphabetical formula order. It has n entries for an n-component material and a straight-line format for the element being sorted to simplify reading the index. Thus, chemical knowledge can make identifications easier. Further, within binary and ternary phase diagrams, phases are listed in compositional order to facilitate direct use in phase diagram research. The Pearson Symbol Code Index has entries arranged in order of the Pearson Symbol Code, hence one can find all the materials with a given structure, and if desired, compare their atomic contents and lattice parameters. The latter are in the standard Crystal Data setting to aid in structural comparisons. The Common Names Index cross-references common metallurgical names, such as austenite or cementite, to the appropriate PDF data. The Strukturbericht Symbol Index cross-references Strukturbericht Symbols and the equivalent Pearson Symbols and Structure Prototypes. Examples of the uses of this index in phase diagram research are given.
