Material database

This repository has properties for different groups of material. The main idea is to provide accessible properties for comparison. References for the material properties are provided in the file materials_references.bib.

Files format

Right now the properties are stored in Tab Separated Value files (.tsv) for simplicity. They are not a robust solution, but they can be easily imported in Python and JavaScript scripts. For material properties, minimum and maximum values are provided in common units.

Collaboration

If you want to add properties for materials in some of the groups you can check the format and units in the corresponding file. The references should go in materials_references.bib and the bibtex-key should go in the field for references of the file.

Might I suggest ODBL?

The concept behind the project is excellent, it would be great to see it expand. Perhaps a free licence will assist with that?
