The product, MSI Eureka, is a materials focused knowledge base that gives control on inorganic materials, on the growing published knowledge and how materials change when temperature, pressure or compositions are changed. Key are: phase diagrams.
The global team, MSIT
Materials Science International Team is the group of experts behind MSI Eureka. MSIT compiles and evaluates data, generates missing data, creates phase diagrams.
The company, MSI
Materials Science International Services, GMBH hosts the global team, markets MSI Eureka

MSI: From a Max-Planck project to a global network
1984 a global scientific team, MSIT,
started from the Stuttgart Max-Planck-
Institute for Metals Research.
Since 1989 MSI, GmbH gives office and
guidance to MSIT.
Today MSI & MSIT form the largest
network in materials constitution.

Materials properties are affected by their “phases”
Phases change with temperature, pressure or materials composition
Rising temperature transforms the solid phase (snow) into liquid.
The pressure under the skates transforms solid (ice) into liquid. The couple glides on a water film.
Adding salt (ice + NaCl) lowers the melting point. Ice transforms into liquid.
changes by pressurechanges by temperature changes by composition
Scientists read such phase changes from : phase diagrams

For Scientists & Engineers
(1) Find information on specific materials (fast, comprehensive and relevant info only)
(2) Understand the material system as a whole(when temperature, pressure, or composition vary)
(3) Develop new materials or optimize the existing materials
(4) Optimize project-time and -resources efficiently

Find the literature for specific materials’ constitution
Problems that can arise
search profiles are too complicated
searches are time-consuming
many irrelevant hits found
overview still incomplete
loads of redundant information to process
when searching for literature
when working through literature
With MSI Eureka
simple search by periodic table
only relevant results, identified by scientists
fast answers, by categories
very complete overview
always up-to-date, automatically alerted
For Scientists & Engineers (1)
© 2009 Materials Science International GmbH 19
| The Gateway to Materials Constitution | by MSI
Developing / applying new materials
Problem
fundamental information is missing
“trial & error” will lead to unnecessary experiments
“mission impossible” may come too late
With MSI Eureka
you learn on time: “mission possible/difficult/ impossible”
you get road maps to solutions
you minimize number of experiments
you save time and resources
you reach your targets faster
phase diagrams
road maps to solutions

Problems
How to learn what is known about your material, before the project starts ?
How to forecast the behavior of your material, how behave similar materials ?
Synergies, who else investigating “your” material ?
With MSI Eureka
A few clicks tell you
you quickly check similar materials, using the periodic table
In Current Work Alert you may find similar work ongoing elsewhere
Optimize project time, chances and resources

Problem (1)
library human resources are limited,
search services are time-consuming
for individual customers
for „embedded librarians“ in major projects
MSI Eureka improves customer service, saves resources
intuitive searches, easy access, all by a few clicks
Individual requests: now directly from the scientist’s desk, by the end user, no communication problems.
Embedded librarians: MSI Eureka monitors ~ 200 journals, ongoing alert service, easy access.
For Information Professionals (1)

| The Gateway to Materials Constitution | by MSI
Problem (2): find „all relevant“ or „relevant only“
find all relevant information:
without MSI Eureka: almost impossible: too many irrelevant hits
find relevant information only:
without MSI Eureka: many relevant information missed
Solutions with MSI Eureka
you find all materials and relevant information only, easily.
you find all materials ever published, up-to date
only relevant entries, identified by scientists, not by automated search profiles

No matter how good services are, „google first“ is a wide spread habit.
The MSI web site directs “googlers” back to library services
Web visitors will find the answer to their search -via the MSI web site -from their own library, displayed in their browser.

"Before we spent a lot of time in searching different bibliographic databases and in sorting out
irrelevant hits, to find relevant and validated data on materials constitution. Since the year 2000
- with “MSI Eureka” and its forerunner the “MSIT Phase Diagram Center” - we can do this job in
minutes. Already the time saving pays for itself, and we appreciate the outstanding quality
of the evaluated phase diagrams for the ternary materials systems.“
Prof. R. Schmid-Fetzer
TU Clausthal, Germany
“With MSI Eureka we have been able to rationalize our research plans using the high quality
critical evaluations as a starting point in experiments and computer simulation (Calphad
method). MSI Eureka indeed helps to simplify science, we can achieve our research goals more
efficiently and it brings real materials constitution into student teaching.”
