Finding and downloading a cif file

Materials Project

Hi @nittamaya,

For the legacy website, maybe try Google login?

For the new website, you can still download CIFs via the following procedure:

  1. Go to the material detail page of interest, e.g. mp-149: Si (Cubic, Fd-3m, 227) (or https://next-gen.materialsproject.org/materials/mp-149 if you want to make sure you’re going to the new website)

  2. Click the “Export As” button shown here:

This is a brief tutorial, I can add an extended explanation to our documentation, including what the different CIF options represent and how to access them.

Hope this helps!
