Databases Indexing Substance Properties

SpringerMaterials This link opens in a new window
Drawn from the Landolt-Börnstein New Series, the Linus Pauling Files and other integrated resources, this comprehensive collection of data in the fields of physics, physical and inorganic chemistry, materials science, and related fields allows materials scientists and related scientists to identify materials and their properties.

Knovel Data Search
Drag and drop properties you'd like to explore into the search area. Some data can be explored by plots and exported.

SciFinder (first-time users see Registration) This link opens in a new window
- This link opens in a new window
Notice: SciFinder access ends July 1st and will be fully replaced by SciFinder-n.
Take the following steps to migrate your saved data from classic SciFinder to SciFinder-n: Navigating to SciFinder-n Help > Working with Search Results > Saved Results and Searches > Migrate Saved Answers and Alerts.

SciFinder is a means of accessing the Chemical Abstracts database using a powerful and intuitive search engine to find references to articles. Search for chemical data using a molecular formula, chemical name, chemical structure, reaction components, author name, or topic of interest.

Note: Database use restricted to current Mines-affiliates only and requires an individual user account to access. First-time users, please register with a Mines email address through this link at http://libguides.mines.edu/scifinder_reg
PubChem This link opens in a new window
Provides information on the biological activities as well as physical and chemical properties and safety information of small molecules. PubChem is organized as three linked databases within the NCBI's Entrez information retrieval system. These are PubChem Substance, PubChem Compound, and PubChem BioAssay. PubChem Compound data is more curated. PubChem also provides a fast chemical structure similarity search tool.

More information about using each component database may be found using the links in the PubChem homepage.
ChemSpider This link opens in a new window
ChemSpider is a free chemical structure database providing fast text and structure search access to over 57 million structures from hundreds of data sources.
NIST Chemistry Book This link opens in a new window
This site provides thermochemical, thermophysical, and ion energetics data compiled by NIST under the Standard Reference Data Program.

NIST Data Gateway
Data and spectra measured or collected by the National Institute of Science and Technology under different projects. See a full list of databases available at https://srdata.nist.gov/gateway/gateway?dblist=0.

Nuclear Energy Data, Statistics, and Reports

Specialized Data Sources

HEPData - High Energy Physics Data Repository
High energy particle reaction database/repository co-hosted by UK Science & Technology Facilities Council, CERN, and Ip3 of Durham University. Originally known as the Durham HepData Project.
NIST Reference on Constants, Units, and Uncertainty - CODATA 2018
Physical Reference Data - NIST Physical Measurement Laboratory
Multiple database from NIST labs; containing constants, spectroscopic, and other physical property and specialized physics research data.

Materials Project This link opens in a new window
The Materials Project was created to accelerate materials discovery through advanced scientific computing and innovative design tools. By computing properties of all known materials, the e-science site aims to remove guesswork from materials design in a variety of applications.The Materials Project wants to promote materials discovery through advanced scientific computing and innovative design tools, which include: Materials Explorer, Phase Diagram App, Lithium Battery Explorer, Reaction (Enthalpy) Calculator, Crystal Toolkit, Structure Predictor, Band Structure and Density of State App.

Note: Register for free, full access to all the tools.

Computational work is provided by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's NERSC Scientific Computing Center and Computational Research Division. They are also active with Oak Ridge, Argonne National Lab, and San Diego's SDSC computing facilities.
MatWeb: Material Property Data This link opens in a new window
MatWeb's searchable database of material properties includes data sheets of thermoplastic and thermoset polymers such as ABS, nylon, polycarbonate, polyester, polyethylene, and polypropylene; metals such as aluminum, cobalt, copper, lead, magnesium, nickel, steel, super alloys, titanium, and zinc alloys; ceramics; plus semiconductors, fibers, and other engineering materials.

The Lund/LBNL Nuclear Data Search
Last updated February 1999. Use it for Decay data search.
