The program provides 31,000 relevant, critically evaluated phase diagrams with commentaries for inorganic compounds (ceramics and glasses), including oxides, non-oxides, salts, carbides, nitrides, borides, compound semiconductors, pnictides and chalcogenides. Also included is the PED Viewer which simplifies the analysis of these complex graphs. This program is the result of a collaboration between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and The American Ceramic Society (ACerS) that began more than 60 years ago. The data are pertinent to a wide variety of applications and include systems of interest for renewable energy technologies (e.g. heat-storage/transfer materials, conversion phosphors, photovoltaics, molten electrolytes, advanced anode and electrolyte materials for battery applications, nuclear-reactor technology and radioactive waste recycling) and next-generation electronic, magnetic, photonic, and optoelectronic devices (e.g. proton conductors, luminescent hosts, solid-electrolyte membranes, liquid-crystal displays, electrochemical sensors, magnetic sensors, actuators, capacitors, transducers, thermoelectric elements, memory elements, fluorescent LED materials, laser hosts, optical fibers, magnetic refrigerators, thermoluminescent elements). The collection includes data for material systems of interest in other diverse applications such as antibacterial agents, bio-compatible ceramics, cutting materials, fluxes for metallurgical processing/electrolytic refining, improved cement, ceramic filters, semiconductor manufacturing, catalysts and photo-catalysts, thermal‐barrier coatings, pigments, and fuel cells.
