NIST Standard Reference Database 42NIST Surface Structure Database: Version 5.0
Version 5.0 Improvements: 32-bit Win 95/98/NT/2000/XP software; faster searches, more analysis options, more printing options, more than 1379 structures through 2002. The powerful graphics of SSD allow detailed assessment of atomic scale structures of surfaces.
The Surface Structure Database (SSD) is the only complete critical compilation of reliable crystallographic information now available on surfaces and interfaces. SSD brings instant access to detailed text and graphical displays of over 1250 experimentally-determined atomic-scale structural analyses. Using the powerful, yet easy-to-use capabilities of SSD, scientists in physics, chemistry, and materials science can quickly and easily find the answer to such questions as:
Searching for needed information has been made as painless as possible and context-sensitive on-line help is available at all times. Searches involve simply filling in the blanks with each criterion of interest and clicking the mouse - no arcane and repetitive search procedures! If you are not sure of the spelling or would like some suggestions, simply double-click the mouse to see a list of possibilities for that criterion. You can search for specific items (e.g. Si substrate, (111) crystal face, Al adsorbate), or for classes of materials or structures (e.g. metallic substrates, molecular adsorbates, reconstructions). The database provides a wealth of information for each structure using 5 data screens:
Any or all of this information can be printed out in a convenient form. However, SSD is more than a critical compilation of data. This database contains 3D color graphics that allow you to visually inspect all surface structures including:
The visualization capabilities of SSD extend beyond display to interactive analysis of structural relationships - interatomic distances, bond angles, number and distance of neighbors and much more. Up to three different structures can be viewed and analyzed at the same time, facilitating structure comparisons. The NIST Surface Structure Database has been written by Philip Watson of Oregon State University, Michel Van Hove of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Klaus Hermann of the Fritz-Haber-Institut der MPG, Berlin, Germany. A free Windows95 based software package (SSDIN) is available to authors who want to submit their most recent surface structures for inclusion in the Surface Structure Database, Version 5.0, please email the scientific contacts for this database. System Requirements: Microsoft® Windows®NT/2000;XP Pentium processor; at least 32MB of memory; VGA/SVGA graphics with at least 256 colors (800x600 pixels resolution preferred as default);11 MB of free hard disk space (15 MB for installation); printer (optional; required for print output of listings, PostScript type for printing graphics). NOTE: This database can only run on English Windows with US-English regional and language options in the Control Panel. Special multiple copy pricing available. Call for details.
