New access to Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD)

As of October 2022, the Library offers to the EPFL community an access to the ICSD database, provided by FIZ Karlsruhe – Leibniz-Institut für Informationsinfrastruktur. This resource contains an almost exhaustive list of known inorganic crystal structures published since 1913, including their atomic coordinates, cell parameters, etc. It is the perfect basis for finding answers to questions in materials research.

ICSD is continuously enhanced with the original data from over 80 leading scientific journals, and more than 1,400 other scientific journals.

Detailed information on the ICSD can be found in the scientific manual.
