SLD Database

1.0 beta9

Here you can enter new materials into the database. Each material will get its unique ID and if relevant will be reviewed by ORSO and then validated. Please provide as much information as possible, especially suitable references to allow us to check the validity of the data.

^* Is a mandatory field for any material.
^** One way to determine density is required. This can be either density, FU_volume, SLD_n or SLD_x with energy E_x.

Compound field:	Value:
name (*)
description
formula (*)	🛈 Chemical formula of a compound can be provided in various ways. It will typically be a sequence of chemical elements followed each by a number. Isotopes are written with the mass number N in square brackets. D is also accepted for H[2]. Repreating groups can be provided by a sub-formula in round brackets followed by a number of repetitions. For organic molecules that exchange hydrogen atoms with their environment, such exchangable hydrogens are written separately as Hx element. In searches the match is exect (besides re-ordering the elements), a rough search can be indicated by adding a tilde (~) before the formula. Examples: Fe2O3 / H[2]2O / H2(C2H4)4 / ~F
