Use of CIF for powder diffraction data International Tables for Crystallography (2019). Vol. H, ch. 4.10, pp. 515-521 [ doi:10.1107/97809553602060000965 ] Abstract The Crystallographic Information Framework (CIF) has been adapted for the storage of powder diffraction data and results with a set of definitions referred to as pdCIF. The history of pdCIF development and a short introduction to the syntax of CIF are presented, as well as details about pdCIF. The processes of creating and reading a pdCIF file are considered, and a survey is given of some of the available free and multi-platform software for these tasks. |
