QUALX2.0 is the new version of QUALX, a computer program for qualitative phase analysis by powder diffraction data. The previous version of QUALX was able to carry out phase identification by querying the PDF-2 commercial database. The main novelty of QUALX2.0 is the possibility of querying also a freely available database, POW_COD. POW_COD has been built up by starting from the structure information contained in the Crystallography Open Database (COD). The latter is a growing collection of diffraction data, freely downloadable from the web, corresponding to inorganic, metal-organic, organic and mineral structures. QUALX2.0 retains the main capabilities of the previous version: (a) automatically estimating and subtracting the background; (b) locating the experimental diffraction peaks; (c) searching the database for single-phase pattern(s) best matching to the experimental powder diffraction data; (d) taking into account suitable restraints in the search; (e) performing a semi-quantitative analysis; (f) enabling the change of default choices and strategies via a user-friendly graphic interface. The advances of QUALX2.0 with respect to QUALX include (i) a wider variety of types of importable ASCII file containing the experimental diffraction pattern and (ii) new search-match options. The program, written in Fortran and C++, runs on PCs under the Windows operating system. The POW_COD database is exported in SQLite3 format.
