PowBase
Powder Patterns Database
Why PowBase ?
The project started readily after a suggestion was given by Helio Salim
de Amorim at the SDPD
mailing list (mail 155) :
Subject: a suggestion...
From: Helio Salim de Amorim
Date: November 3, 1999
Dear Dr. Armel and SDPD members.
Still as to regards the e-mail about fees of SDPD Internet Course and
some natural difficulties of students in poor countries, I should like
to direct a suggestion: besides the mailing list on SDPD and the course
for free available in the Web, could be very useful to create a powder
diffraction data base in the Web, with data given up by different laboratories/researchers
related to different materials, obtained in different instrumental resolution
and useful to training in the application of SDPD strategies. Data with
typical resolution attained in a powder diffractometer installed in synchrotron
beam lines for example, many of us, know only in the literature. This data
base should be also good to planning the upgrade of x-ray diffraction equipment
and to establish collaboration between laboratories.
My best regards.
Helio Salim de Amorim.
