Note: Unless otherwise stated, all the software below is either Shareware or Commercial software (i.e, present freeware of Macdiff and CMPR Powder Suite/Portable Logic software). All these programs, unless stated, use the ICDD Database (JCPDS, ASTM of old under a new name) - http://www.icdd.com.

An up and coming alternative to the ICDD is the yet to be released Pauling file: http://www.crystalimpact.com/pauling/ | [UK CCP14 Mirror]

(NB: An opinionated, non-comprehensive and possibly misleading set of "hints" on Search-Match and Phase Identification using Powder X-ray Diffraction by Lachlan Cranswick is located at: http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/poster-talks/phase-id-1999/)
