Cif file from crystallographic open database(cod and JCPDS card downloading)
crystal information file ( cif ) is file which contain detail information about the crystal structure. this cif file is readable by VESTA jp mineral and other crystal visualizer software like j-mole and Avogadro. Cif file can be freely downloaded from crystallographic open data base (COD) it also provide the JCPDS card number (cod id) that can be used as reference pattern for x-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern analysis. Material science, experimental and theoretical scientist can take benefits from cif file which provide the detail information about the crystall structure. This video provide detail explanation and method for downloading the cif file freely from cod open data base.
