Reliable crystal structure data of high quality play an

important part in optimizing the development of new

materials which foster innovation in various areas.

FIZ Karlsruhe - Leibniz Institute for Information

Infrastructure provides the Inorganic Crystal

Structure Database (ICSD) - the world's biggest

database of fully evaluated and published crystal

structure data. Science and industry are offered high

quality records that provide a basis for studies in

materials science. ICSD contains more than 190,000

crystal structures of inorganic substances published

since 1913. Metals are included in ICSD since 2008.
