CrystalDiffract is an amazing, trial version software only available for Mac, that is part of the category Science & Education with subcategory Funny Things.

More about CrystalDiffract

Since we added this software to our catalog in 2007, it has obtained 949 downloads, and last week it gained 1 download.

CrystalDiffract is available for users with the operating system Mac OS X and former versions, and it is available in English. Its current version is 5.1.3 and was updated on 6/19/2007.

About the download, CrystalDiffract is a program that requires less space than many software in the section Science & Education. It’s a very heavily used program in Egypt.

CrystalDiffract works with CrystalMaker, reading from saved crystal files to simulate and display powder diffraction patterns on screen. You can drag-and-drop a crystal file into CrystalDiffract, or use CrystalMaker’s Transform > Diffraction Pattern > Powder command to obtain a diffraction pattern for any displayed crystal structure.

Diffraction patterns can be displayed as traditional greyscale “films”, or as diffractometer traces (graphs of intensity versus two-theta, d-spacing, 1/d, time-of-flight or energy). Tools allow you to measure peak positions, intensities, and their Miller indices. You can precisely scroll the diffraction pattern, or select a plot range and zoom. Other tool buttons provide scaling functions, as well as x and y-axis offsets.
