These materials include minerals, inter-metallic phases, metals, alloys, drugs, antibiotics, and pesticides. .. admonition:: **At-a-Glance** In combination with |medea| |infomatica| and other |medea| databases, |medea| |ncd| provides a useful backbone of crystal structure data for both organic and inorganic compounds. **Key Benefits** * Seamless integration with |medea| |infomatica| * Quick and efficient search of compounds and their properties .. figure:: /Datasheets/images/NCD-record-distribution.png :align: center |medea| |ncd| - number of records by constituent count All NCD records have been evaluated by the National Research Council Canada and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The data have been extracted from the literature published up to 1995 and were originally in ASCI format. Searching *NCD* through the |medea| |infomatica| is straightforward, as multiple hits are displayed in tables easy to sort, export, and post-process. Specifications ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * Data for organic and inorganic structures * More than 237,000 records * About 50% of entries are experimentally refined structures * Pertinent chemical, physical, and bibliographic Information :myquote:`NCD is useful in conjunction with other data for materials design and properties prediction.` :myquotee:`Vicky Lynn Karen, NIST` Key Features ^^^^^^^^^^^^ * |medea| |ncd| permits rapid on-disk (offline) search * Integration with |medea| |infomatica| offers many data management options Properties ^^^^^^^^^^ * Physical and chemical information of crystalline materials * Chemical formula and name * Classification by chemical type * Standard lattice parameters * Symmetry (space group numbers and symbols) * Calculated density * Bibliographic reference * Remarks to experimental setup (where available) Required Modules ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * |medea| |menvironment| (includes |medea| |infomatica|) * |medea| |ncd| Recommended Modules ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * |medea| |pearson| * |medea| |icsd| * |medea| |mcod| .. only:: latex | .. add for a column break, adjust where needed .. raw:: latex \newpage Find Out More ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Learn more about |medea| |infomatica| in the video tutorial: |youtube03.01| on the |youtube|.
