InfoMaticA provides easy-to-use cross database search and query capabilities to a suite of experimental
data files including the world’s major crystallographic structural materials data files
ICSD and NIST. InfomaticA lets you search and retrieve experimental structure information
and load into MedeA for visualization and editing! In combination with
MedeA's builder, graphical interfaces and computational job control,
InfomaticA provides unprecedented ease and efficiency for
materials modeling.
In the near future, InfomaticA will
also include the Pauling file (binary edition) including structural data
and phase diagrams.
Features
 |
Access and search
of materials data files by chemical composition, crystal structure,
symmetry group, etc. |
 |
Intuitive, menu-driven
natural language syntax. For example, “Formula contains any number of
atoms of O” and “Number
of Elements is equal to 3” generates over 10,000
structure entries
from ICSD alone! |
 |
Combining search criteria allows
for complex database queries |
 |
Full bibliographic references |
 |
Geometry analysis and graphical
dislay of local coordination of each atom in the unit cell |
 |
Computes bond distances and bond angles |
 |
Interactive calculation
and siplay of X-ray diffraction powder pattern for common
X-ray sources |
 |
User data base to store
computational results |
