NIMS Materials Database
The NIMS Materials Database (MatNavi) aims to contribute to the development of new materials and the selection of materials. MatNavi includes Polymer DB (chemical structures, polymerization, processing, physical properties, NMR spectra, etc.), Inorganic MaterialDB (crystal structures, phase diagrams, physical properties, etc.), Metallic Material DB (density, elastic constants, creep characteristics, etc.) and Computational Electronic Structure DB (band structures obtained by first-principles calculations, etc). It also offers applications such as the Composite Design & Property Prediction System. If you register, you can search and browse various databases for free.
Important Notice
The following three procedures are required to use MatNavi service. (Registration and Application Manual)
(1) DICE Account User Registration
In principle, a user is an individual who belongs to an organization.
Please perform "DICE Account User Registration" using the e-mail address provided by your organization.
(2) Domain Name Registration of E-mail Address
When applying to use MatNavi, identity verification based on the e-mail address is required.
Please make sure that the domain name of your e-mail address is registered in our management list.
If the domain name is not registered, please apply by your organization's domain administrator(s) or a person who has been approved by the domain administrator(s).

- Details of the application procedure
(3) MatNavi Usage Application
If the domain name is registered, you can continue to apply for MatNavi usage.
- MatNavi Usage Application (Please use a computer browser.)
[Note] As a temporary measure, MatNavi service has been available to those who identify themselves with passport, but we are going to finished this temporary solution from the following dates.
* End of application for MatNavi service with passport-based DICE account: January 31, 2024
* End of service for MatNavi users with passport-based DICE account: March 29, 2024
* Deletion of information on users with passport-based DICE accounts: March 29, 2024
For details, please refer to "Termination of Temporary Measures (Identity Verification with passport) for MatNavi Usage".

Applications
The Composite Design & Property Prediction System (CompoTherm) is an advanced simulation tool for searching for candidate composite materials with optimal thrermo-physicical properties and structures.
The Metal Segregation Prediction System (SurfSeg) is designed to simulate surface or interface segregation in the following four cases: surface segregation in film/substrate, surface segregation in dilute alloy system, interface segregation at film-substrate interface, and interface segregation at alloy-substrate interface.
Interface Bonding Prediction System (InerChemBond) is a system that predict of interface chemical bonding between metal oxide (AxOy) and metal (M) or alloy (MB dissolved in MA).
Paid service
Scheduled system maintenance
Service may be unavailable every Wednesday from 18:00 to 20:00 (JST) due to scheduled system maintenance.
AtomWork-Adv stores more data than the free AtomWork and offers a new interface and data download function.
