NIMS Materials Database(MatNavi) - DICE :: National Institute for Materials Science

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.

MatNavi user registration / authentication system updates : Needs re-registration

We updated the user registration and authentication systems of MatNavi to improve its security on December 1, 2020.
The old registered information completely discarded, and thus logging into the newly updated system with old information not be possible.
Users who have registered to the old system (registered before November 30) must register again on the newly updated system.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this update and ask for your cooperation.

Suspend the use of the Service

We may suspend the use of the Service by Registrant without giving prior notice to, or obtaining prior consent of Registrant, if Registrant has violated or may have violated "MatNavi Service Terms of Use", such as web scraping.

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 a system that predict of surface segregation between two annealed metals.

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).

AtomWork-Adv stores more data than the free AtomWork and offers a new interface and data download function.
