Several databases of XRD reference data are available from various sources. At DTU Nanolab we do not have direct access to any of the paid databases directly from the analysis software. However, through DTU's library service, DTU Findit, we have access to the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database or ICSD. Access to this data is described below. | Several databases of XRD reference data are available from various sources.

It is possible to easily link the Crystallographic Open Database to the Smartlab Studio II software and this database is found free online. You can read more about how to link it to SLSII in the document in LabManager that describes how to download the SLSII software. | It is possible to easily link the Crystallographic Open Database to the Smartlab Studio II software and this database is found free online.

On the ICSD main page you can run a query to find the available spectra for a given composition. | On the ICSD main page you can run a query to find the available spectra for a given composition. | ||
A query will result in a list of entries that are more or less relevant. If possible choose the results with the "high quality data" marker. | A query will result in a list of entries that are more or less relevant.

Once you have found a promising entry, click "Detailed View" and now you will see the reference data. At the top of the page you can click "CIF" and export a CIF file with all the information ready to import into the material database in SmartLab Studio II. | Once you have found a promising entry, click "Detailed View" and now you will see the reference data.
