Integrated Scientific Computing and Information Technologies

CRYSTAL IMPACT's basic goal is to develop high quality software which allows even non-specialist users to apply most recent scientific and software technologies. Key areas of activity are crystal structure solution, visualization, phase identification from powder, as well as crystal structure databases. Chemists, physicists and material scientists from industry and academic institutions in more than 60 countries all over the world use Crystal Impact's innovative software tools to determine, visualize and understand the crystal structures of their compounds, investigate the composition of their samples by powder diffraction, or search crystallographic databases for information about recent advancements in their area of research.

Endeavour Endeavour Match!

Match! is an easy-to-use software for phase analysis using powder diffraction data. It compares the diffraction pattern of your sample to a database containing reference patterns in order to identify the phases which are present. Additional knowledge about the sample like known phases, elements or density can be applied easily.
In addition to this qualitative analysis, a quantitative analysis (using Rietveld refinement) can be performed as well. You can easily setup and run Rietveld refinements from within Match!, with the actual calculations being performed automatically, using the well-known program FullProf (by J. Rodriguez-Carvajal) in the background. Match! provides a gentle introduction into Rietveld refinement, from fully automatic operation to the "Expert" mode. The software runs natively on Windows, macOS and Linux.

A new version 4 has just become available, providing profile fitting search-match (PFSM) as a powerful alternative to the proven peak-based search-match. Watch a video showing the new profile fitting search-match functionality in action, or take a closer look at this screenshot:

Just like with earlier versions of Match!, you can apply the included free-of-charge COD database, use any ICDD PDF product as reference database, and/or create a user database based on your own diffraction patterns. The user database patterns can be edited manually, imported from peak files, calculated from crystal structure data (e.g. CIF files), or imported from your colleague's user database.
