The LPF Multinaries Edition - 2008 is the most comprehensive database on inorganic solid phases and is essential for materials scientists, chemists, and physicists. All data are normalized and standardized according to the IUCr standards.

The database consists of three data collections:

• structure/diffraction data (123,000 data sheets)
• phase diagrams (23,000 data sheets)
• physical properties (44,000 data sheets)

A total of 190,000 data sheets uploaded to SpringerMaterials on March 31, 2010; an additional batch of 64,000 data sheets will follow March 31, 2011.
