You don't need a program, but instead files describing the atomic coordinates of the materials. There are many interesting molecules on the WWW already eg "Molecule of the Month" http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/motm/ where jmol is already used to display some of them. Otherwise you can find crystal structures in specialised databases such as: The PDB Protein Data Base http://www.rcsb.org (free) The CCDC Cambridge Crystallographic Data Center organic database http://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/ The ICSD Inorganic Crystal Structure Database http://icsdweb.fiz-karlsruhe.de/ (part free) The AMC American Mineralogist database http://rruff.geo.arizona.edu/AMS/amcsd.php (free) The WebMineral database http://www.webmineral.com/ The CRYSTMET metals database http://www.tothcanada.com/databases.htm The Zeolite Atlas database http://www.iza-sc.ethz.ch/IZA-SC/Atlas/AtlasHome.html The ChemFinder database http://chemfinder.cambridgesoft.com/ etc... There are also many WWW pages teaching about structure and properties of materials eg; SciLinks http://www.scilinks.org/ and the Liverpool Physical Sciences Centre http://www.physsci.heacademy.ac.uk/Resources/WebReviews.aspx links to Science pages for Teaching etc etc...
