Crystal Libraries
Free structures to go with our software.
The full version of CrystalMaker includes nearly 800 annotated structure files on disc, with over 300 mineral structures - the major rock-forming minerals - plus organic and inorganic structures of technological importance. This library should be installed by default for Windows users; Mac users can simply copy the library from their installation disc image.
As a bonus, we include additional structures on this web site, grouped into separate libraries with a brief description on the following web pages. These structures are saved in CrystalMaker's powerful binary format, which includes all structural and display settings, bonds, polyhedra and notes - ready for immediate display.
Silica Polymorphs
The same chemical formula - but very different structures. Meet the silica family...
Proteins Selection
Sample protein structures, including transferase, hydrolase and some DNA complexes.
Periodic Tables
See how atomic, ionic, covalent and Van-der-Waals radii vary across the Periodic Table.
Materials
Over 12 000 chalcogenides, pnictides, intermetallics, alloys and other inorganic structures.
Viewing Crystals
CrystalMaker binary files can be displayed, manipulated, and printed, using our free CrystalMaker demo software. You can also simulate powder and single-crystal diffraction patterns for the crystal files in the libraries, using our CrystalDiffract and SingleCrystal programs, respectively.
