[MSE-XRD-Admin] FW: Researcher access to Powder Diffraction File

[Garritano, Jeremy R]

Over two years ago I inquired with Dave Roberts about a student gaining access to the Powder Diffraction File in the X-Ray Facility (see below) to conduct some research.  (The Libraries does not provide access to this database.)  Do you still have access to the database and can I direct an MSE graduate student to you?  Are you still located in MSEE?

Thanks,

Jeremy

Yes The data base is on the computer that controls the Siemens D500 X-ray.
It's in room 337 MSEE building . The data is 10yrs old. The room is open
business hours. The X-ray is down and we are trying to repair it.
