The crystal structures of five new cristobalite-related sodium aluminosilicates with four different structure types from the system Na2−x Al2−x Si x O4, 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 [Na1.95Al1.95Si0.05O4, P41212, a = 5.2997 (6), c = 7.0758 (9) Å; Na1.75Al1.75Si0.25O4, Pbca, a = 10.4221 (11), b = 14.264 (3), c = 5.2110 (5) Å; Na1.65Al1.65Si0.35O4, P41212, a = 10.3872 (7), c = 7.1589 (8) Å; Na1.55Al1.55Si0.45O4, Pbca, a = 10.385 (1), b = 14.198 (3), c = 5.1925 (6) Å; Na1.15Al1.15Si0.85O4, Pb21 a, a = 10.214 (2), b = 14.226 (7), c = 10.308 (1) Å], have been refined by the Rietveld method from X-ray powder diffraction data. Plausible starting models were derived for the x = 0.05, 0.25 and 0.45 structures by analogy. Starting models for the x = 0.35 and 0.85 structures, with previously unreported structure types, were derived from a modulation wave approach based on distortion of the ideal C9 structure type and assuming regular SiO4 and AlO4 tetrahedra.

The crystal structure of skutterudite-related phase IrGe1.5Se1.5 has been refined by the Rietveld method from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. Refined crystallographic data for IrGe1.5Se1.5 are a=12.0890(2) Å, c=14.8796(3) Å, V=1883.23(6) Å3, space group R3 (No. 148), Z=24, and Dc=8.87 g/cm3. Its crystal structure can be derived from the ideal skutterudite structure (CoAs3), where Se and Ge atoms are ordered in layers perpendicular to the [111] direction of the original skutterudite cell. Weak distortions of the anion and cation sublattices were also observed.

Rare earth-transition metal (R-T) intermetallics have been well used because of their excellent properties. The X-ray diffraction patterns of many new phases in the R-T system have not been extensively studied. A new compound AlCrNi3Pr was prepared by arc melting using non-consumable tungsten electrode under argon atmosphere, and then annealed at 1023K for 30 days. The X-ray powder diffraction data of AlCrNi3Pr was collected on a Rigaku SmartLab X-ray powder diffractometer. The powder patterns of the compound were indexed, and the structure refinement by using Rietveld method indicated that the AlCrNi3Pr compound crystallized in the hexagonal structure, space group P6/mmm (No.191) with PrNi5 structure type, a=b=5.0553(9) Ǻ, c=4.0763(6) Ǻ, V=90.22Ǻ3, Z=1, ρx=7.288g cm-3, the Smith–Snyder FOM F30=279.1(0.0044, 32) and the intensity ratio RIR=1.23.

The crystal structures of four polymorphs of the pesticide dithianon (5,10-dihydro-5,10-dioxonaphtho[2,3-b]-1,4-dithiine-2,3-dicarbonitrile) have been solved from powder diffraction data and refined using the Rietveld method. Three polymorphs crystallize in non-centrosymmetric space groups. Two polymorphs have Z′ > 1. The structures are assembled via interactions between carbonyl groups of quinoid fragments into layers which further interact only by weak interactions.

The crystal structures of two manganese hexacyanometallates(II), Mn2[Fe(CN)6].8H2O and Mn2[Os(CN)6].8H2O, were refined from X-ray powder diffraction data using the Rietveld method, with the reported structure for Mn2[Ru(CN)6].8H2O used as a structural model. These compounds are isomorphous and crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/n. Their crystallization water is not firmly bound and can be removed without disrupting the M–C≡N–Mn network. In the dehydrated complexes, the outer cation (Mn) remains linked to only three N atoms from CN ligands while the inner cation (Fe,Os) preserves its coordination sphere. The IR, Raman, and Mössbauer spectra for the hydrated and anhydrous forms are explained based on the refined structures.

The ferroelectric ceramic BaTiO3 was synthesized at 1000 °C for 5 h. The structure of the system under study was refined on the basis of X-ray powder diffraction data using the Rietveld method. The system crystallizes in the space group P4mm(99). The refinement of instrumental and structural parameters led to reliable values for the Rp, Rwp and Rexp.We use the TOPAS software of Bruker AXS to refine this ceramic powders and show its conformation
