CrystalSleuth (last updated July 20 2009) CrystalSleuth provides tools for the analysis and manipulation of both Raman and powder diffraction data sets. Because of the large number of data files packaged with CrystalSleuth, the installer is sizable. For this reason we package the application without the precompiled search library. This will need to be done before the user is able to search against the Raman patterns from the RRUFF database. As a convenience, we also offer a version of the CrystalSleuth installer that includes the pre-compiled* search library files. This larger version is only recommended for users with a fast internet connection. Check back frequently for updates supporting more features.

XtalDraw (Version January 23 2004) XtalDraw is interactive Windows-based software that draws crystal and molecular structures as ball and stick, polyhedral, and thermal ellipsoid representations. It comes with a large set of datafiles. Not only does it read the XtalDraw datafiles, but it can also read the American Mineralogist Crystal Structure DataBase datafiles.
