CrystalDiffract™ 1.0 for Windows XP
Simulate Powder Diffraction Patterns
with Real-Time Parameter Control

Windows XP Screen Shot
24 April 2006. CrystalMaker Software Ltd is delighted to announce the immediate availability of CrystalDiffract version 1.0.1 for Windows XP, following an initial launch of the software at the American Chemical Society's Spring National Meeting in Atlanta, GA.
Built for Windows XP
CrystalDiffract 1.0 is an all-new application, built from scratch for Microsoft Windows XP. The application is designed to support the latest features of Windows XP, without the restrictions of legacy system support.

Featuring all the major functionality of its Mac counterpart (currently at version 5.1.1 for Mac OS X), the new program can simulate x-ray or neutron powder diffraction patterns for any crystal structure. Multiple patterns can be displayed in the same window, with immediate toggling between "separates" and "mixture" modes. The program supports "diffractometer" graph display, or traditional "film" representations.

CrystalDiffract provides an ideal way of characterizing the results of real-life diffraction experiments. Users can drag-and-drop real diffraction files (xy text listings) right into the program's diffraction window, and immediately compare simulated and observed patterns.

Interactive Control
The program's Parameters inspector palette provides unique control over many aspects of a diffraction experiment. Users can tweak individual settings such as peak width, particle size, wavelength or mixture proportion. The innovative slider control provides a sense of real-time control, letting users understand how individual parameters affect the overall diffraction process.

You can browse and sort diffraction data for any phase in a simulated mixture. Windows XP Screen Shot

Extensive Output Options
CrystalDiffract for Windows lets you save your diffraction experiments as self-contained "session files" (fully-compatible with CrystalDiffract 5.1 for Mac OS X). You can also export diffraction profiles with user-specified resolution (channel size), plus tables of data including full structure factor listings, summary files with structural data plus diffraction listings. You can also browse and sort diffraction data onscreen, via the Edit Diffraction Data command and export your custom data listing to a text file.

CrystalDiffract initially operates in a free Demonstration mode. The full-feature version - which includes high-resolution printing, multi-phase pattern display, energy-dispersive and time-of-flight diffraction simulations, plus much more - can be unlocked by entering a paid-for licence code.

Further Information:
  • For a general introduction to CrystalDiffract please see the CrystalDiffract product description.
  • Download a demonstration version of CrystalDiffract 1.0 for Windows (includes sample crystal files plus saved diffraction experiments).
  • For pricing and ordering information for new licences, please refer to the CrystalDiffract Sales page.
  • If you are an existing CrystalDiffract-for-Mac user, and wish to take advantage of our new cross-platform upgrade scheme, please visit the sales page. Please note that this scheme is only available for users of the full-feature ("Pro") version of the program.
