The NIST surface structure database - SSD version 4

SSD-4, the fourth version of the NIST Surface Structure Database is to appear in early 2002 as a significant upgrade to both the database and graphics software; it now also includes nearly 1300 structures published through the end of 2000. SSD is an interactive PC-based database of critically-selected surface structures determined with a variety of experimental techniques. The data include not only atomic coordinates, bond lengths and bond angles, but also information about experimental preparation, measurement and analysis methods. The software provides advanced search and display facilities, as well as interactive three-dimensional color visualization and analysis tools of great flexibility. In addition, the program can generate publication-quality color or gray-scale prints of any structure, with a host of user-selectable options (such as view angle, perspective, colors, ball and bond styles, and labels)
