AbstractA systematic survey of phase formation in the Na2O-ZrO2-SiO2 system has revealed inconsistencies in the number and identity of ternary phases, and of their X-ray powder data. The phases Na2ZrSiO5, Na4Zr2Si3O12, Na2ZrSi2O7 and Na2ZrSi4O11 were prepared by solid-state reaction and their experimental X-ray diffraction patterns measured. Calculated X-ray diffraction patterns were generated by computer, using published crystallographic data, and critically compared with the experimentally observed values. The unit-cell constants were redefined to a greater accuracy than the presently accepted values published in the Powder Diffraction File. Only Na4Zr2Si3O12 produced an X-ray diffraction pattern which agreed with that previously published; those from the other phases were significantly different in both the intensities and positions of the reflections. Data for synthetic Na2ZrSi4O11 identical to the mineral vlasovite are reported.

AbstractPowder diffraction patterns have been calculated for nine isostructural rhombohedral M2(SO4)3 (M = Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Fe, Ga, Y, Rh, In) phases, and for four isostructural monoclinic M2(SO4)3 (M = V, Fe, In, Tl) phases. The pattern for monoclinic Fe2(SO4)3 is the first reported for this phase. Because structure data are available only for the two Fe2(SO4)3 polymorphs, the powder patterns of the other trivalent metal sulfates were approximated using the structure data of the isostructural Fe phases with the scattering factors and previously determined cell parameters of the various metal sulfates. These calculated patterns are termed an approximation by isostruduralism.The calculated patterns were used to evaluate reference powder data for these phases in the Powder Diffraction File (PDF). All but two of the PDF patterns were found to differ substantially from the calculated patterns in the stronger peaks used for identification, and to be missing weak peaks that may be confused for impurities during phase identification.

AbstractProcedures and tools for evaluation of reference x-ray powder patterns in the JCPDSICDD Powder Diffraction File are illustrated by a review of air-stable binary oxides. The reference patterns are evaluated using an available microcomputer version of the NBS*A1DS83 editorial program and PDF patterns retrieved directly from the CD-ROM in the program's input format. The patterns are compared to calculated and experimental diffractograms. The majority of the oxide patterns have been found to be in good agreement with the calculated and observed diffractograms, but are often missing some weak reflections routinely observed with a modern diffractometer. These weak reflections are added to the PDF pattern. For the remainder of the phases, patterns are redetermined.

Several compositions of the solid solutions (CaxSr1−x)CuO2 and (CaxSr1−x)2CuO3, both of which are found as minor phases in the high-temperature superconductors, were prepared by solid-state reaction. X-ray powder-diffraction patterns for three compositions of (CaxSr1−x)CuO2 and two for (CaxSr1−x)2CuO3 are presented.

The compound Th13Te24O74 was prepared by three independent methods, namely, thermal decomposition of ThTe2O6 in oxygen and argon and direct solid-state reaction of ThO2 and TeO2. The X-ray powder diffraction patterns of the three products, by and large, are similar, except for some differences in intensities and extra diffraction lines. The thermal decomposition of ThTe2O6 was carried out in the streams of oxygen and argon by thermogravimetry at a heating rate of 5 K/min in the temperature range of 725–840 °C. The solid-state reaction of ThO2 and TeO2 (13:24) was carried out in a sealed ampoule at 700 °C. The measured density of this compound is 8.23 g/cm3. An orthorhombic lattice with unit cell parameters, a=11.310±0.005 Å, b=14.064±0.006 Å, c=9.056±0.004 Å, and volume of 1440.419±1.088 (Å)3 was determined for this compound.

CaTi1−xSnxO3 (x = 0.0–1.0) solid solutions were prepared by solid-state reaction at 1450 °C. Rietveld refinement of their powder X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that all the solid solutions crystallized in orthorhombic cells with the perovskite-type structure, the space group Pbnm. The refined unit-cell parameters linearly increased with nominal tin contents x.

X-ray structural characterization and X-ray reference powder patterns have been determined for two series of iron- and cobalt-containing layered compounds (BaxSr1−x)2Co2Fe12O22 (x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) and (BaxSr1−x)Co2Fe16O27 (x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8). The (BaxSr1−x)2Co2Fe12O22 series of compounds crystallized in the space group R$\bar 3$m (No. 166), with Z = 3. The structure is essentially that of the Y-type hexagonal ferrite, BaM2+Fe63+O11. The lattice parameters range from a = 5.859 15(8) to 5.843 72(8) Å, and c = 43.4975(9) to 43.3516(9) Å for x = 0.2 to 0.8, respectively. The (BaxSr1−x)Co2Fe16O27 series (W-type hexagonal ferrite) crystallized in the space group P63/mmc (No. 194) and Z = 2. The lattice parameters range from a = 5.902 05(12) to 5.8979(2) Å and c = 32.9002(10) to 32.8110(13) Å for x = 0.2 to 0.8. Results of measurements of the Seebeck coefficient and resistivity of these two sets of samples indicated that they are insulators. Powder X-ray diffraction patterns of these two series of compounds have been submitted to be included in the Powder Diffraction File.

Structural transformations between polytypes of a given material are expected to lead to lattice relaxations. Powder X-ray diffraction of basic AX 2 polytypes of CdI2, PbI2, SnS2 and SnSe2 showed these relaxations for the repetition unit along the stacking axis, conventionally the c axis. No variation of the lattice parameters were detected in the basal plane (001), except for CdI2 where small variations occur also for the a lattice parameter. The tensor of the spontaneous strain has its maximum component e 3 ≲ 12 × 10−4 for SnS2. The powder diffraction pattern and lattice parameters of the phases of CdI2 (2H, 12R, 4H), PbI2 (2H, 12R), SnS2 (2H, 18R, 4H) and SnSe2 (2H, 18R) are given. JCPDS Diffraction File Nos. are: 40-1468 for CdI2-12H; 40–1469 for CdI2-2H; 40-1466 for SnS2-18R, 40–1467 for SnS2-2H; 40–1465 for SnSe2-18R. The other polytypes studied in this paper have data in earlier sets of the PDF.
