Extract

Among powder diffractionists, there is a concern about establishing criteria for testing existing and new computer methods for searching the Powder Diffraction File (PDF) data base. A large number of papers on this subject have been presented at recent Denver Conferences and at other meetings, such as the American Crystallographic Association.

The PDF now exceeds 42,000 patterns, with an average of about thirty lines per pattern. Thus, it contains approximately 2.5 million numerical values. At its current rate of growth, the PDF will double in less than twenty years.
