Lattice parameter determination from X-ray powder diffraction patterns, called indexing, invariably requires the extraction of peak positions which are then used by indexing algorithms that are peak position dependent. The success of these algorithms depends on the accuracy of the extracted peak positions. Peak positions that do not overlap significantly with nearby peaks can be readily determined with great accuracy. However, in heavily overlapped regions it is difficult to determine the number of peaks and even more difficult to determine the peak positions accurately. This paper describes a new indexing algorithm,Lp-Search, that is implemented in the computer programTOPAS Version 7(Bruker AXS, Karlsruhe, Germany).Lp-Searchdoes not require peak position extraction nor does it require knowledge of the number of peaks present.Lp-Searchcombines Monte Carlo searches of lattice parameter space with a Pawley refinement used at the end of each search. Critical to the success of the Monte Carlo search is a new figure of merit function which allows the parameter space to be searched efficiently.Lp-Searchhas proved to be effective for patterns with heavily overlapped peaks; monoclinic to cubic lattices are successfully indexed in a matter of seconds and triclinic lattices within a minute or two. Diffraction patterns spanning a limited range, such that 30–40 peaks of the highestdspacing peaks are omitted, can be successfully indexed; this demonstrates the robust nature ofLp-Search.

M2(dhtp)·nH2O (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Zn; dhtp = 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalate), known as MOF74, is a family of excellent sorbent materials for CO2 that contains coordinatively unsaturated metal sites and a honeycomb-like structure featuring a broad one-dimensional channel. This paper describes the structural feature and provides reference X-ray powder diffraction patterns of these four isostructural compounds. The structures were determined using synchrotron diffraction data obtained at beam line 11-BM at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) in the Argonne National Laboratory. The samples were confirmed to be hexagonal R 3 (No. 148). From M = Mn, Co, Ni, to Zn, the lattice parameter a of MOF74 ranges from 26.131 73(4) Å to 26.5738(2) Å, c from 6.651 97(5) to 6.808 83(8) Å, and V ranges from 3948.08 Å3 to 4163.99 Å3, respectively. The four reference X-ray powder diffraction patterns have been submitted for inclusion in the Powder Diffraction File (PDF).

This paper presents the far-infrared spectrum and X-ray powder diffraction pattern of the structure I hydrate of cyclopropane at 100 °K, and the powder diffraction pattern of the isostructural ethylene oxide hydrate at 100 °K. Between 360 and 100 cm−1 the absorption by cyclopropane hydrate is essentially identical to that by ethylene oxide hydrate, but is shifted to low frequency by about 2%. This shift is undoubtedly related to the hydrogen bonds being slightly longer in cyclopropane hydrate, whose cubic lattice parameter is 11.98 ± 0.02 Å compared to 11.89 ± 0.02 Å for ethylene oxide hydrate, both at 110 ± 20 °K. The absorption by cyclopropane hydrate below 100 cm−1 decreases rapidly with decreasing frequency; this confirms that the absorption plateau observed for ethylene oxide hydrate between 100 and about 50 cm−1 is due to primarily rotational vibrations of ethylene oxide. A recent statement, that the orientational disorder of the water molecules need not be invoked to explain the far infrared spectrum of ice 1 h, is disputed.

A commercial powder diffractometer linked to an IBM 1800 time sharing computer is used for the precision determination of lattice parameters on single crystals with Bond's method of measuring the angle between two diffracting positions of the crystal, symmetric to the incident x—ray beam. A remote x-ray tube and collimator allows a high angle Bragg reflection to be measured easily in these two positions with only one detector. After scanning the two diffraction line profiles, the peak positions and the lattice parameter are determined on line by the computer. Several methods for determining the peak position are discussed. Using these techniques, the lattice parameter of silicon has been determined on two crystals of high purity and perfection to a0 = 5.43093 ± 0.00002 Å and a0 = 5.43095 ± 0.00002 Å at 25°C. These values are in excellent agreement with Bond's result, a0 = 5.430935 ± 0.000019 Å, and they differ slightly from the value a0 = 5.43074 ± 0.00017 Å, the mean value of, lattice parameters measured on silicon powder in 16 laboratories under the I.U.Cr. precision lattice parameter project.

Diffraction Patterns

Single crystals of rhombohedral bismuth tri-iodide grown by physical vapor transport are possible candidates for room-temperature detectors. Previously reported, low angle reflections in X-ray diffraction patterns of various BiI3 starting powders are attributed to the BiI3 structure from Rietveld analysis. Accordingly, the lattice parameters of stoichiometric BiI3 are determined as a0=7.5192±0.0003 Å and c0=20.721±0.004 Å at room temperature. It also appears that lattice parameter determination using Rietveld refinement can lead to significant errors if experimental aberrations are present and their nature and magnitude are unknown. A modified internal standard technique is applied to the data set prior to Rietveld refinement for more reliable lattice parameter determination.

The Relationship

The Simulations of X-ray diffraction patterns of MgO, BaO and ZnS ceramics were successfully performed by VESTA program, based on the crystal structures visualization. The aim of this research was to obtain the relationship between ionic radius to the diffraction pattern. The X-ray diffraction pattern was generated from visualization of the crystal structure. The crystal structure information was obtained from JCPDS data which contained lattice parameter, atomic coordinate and the space group. The X-ray diffraction pattern parameters which are taken into account in this research are diffraction angle of 2 Theta and Intensity. The results indicated that the peak position and intensity of the diffraction pattern are influenced by ionic radius of the cations. Structural transformation was also detected from this simulation.

The Difference ◽  
Similar Accuracy

Since the measurement of residual stress by X-ray diffraction techniques is dependent on the difference in angle of a diffraction peak maximum when the sample is examined consecutively with its surface at two different angles to the diffracting planes, it is important that these diffraction angles be obtained precisely, preferably with an accuracy of ± 0.01 deg. 2θ. Similar accuracy is desired in precise lattice parameter determination. In such measurements, it is imperative that the diffractometer be well-aligned. It is in the context of diffractometer alignment with the aid of a silicon powder standard free of residual stress that the diffraction peak analysis techniques described here have been developed, preparatory to residual stress determinations.

Two Phases

Samples of the YBaCuNbO system with different molecular ratios of YBa 2 NbO y to YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−d, were prepared in air by the solid-state reaction method. The X-ray powder diffraction patterns showed that the sample was composed of two phases, one corresponding to the YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−d phase and the other to the YBa 2 NbO y phase with a cubic lattice parameter of 8.425 Å to 8.436 Å depending on the Nb content. The superconducting zero resistivity temperature, T c 0, of the YBaCuNbO system increased with the increase of the molecular ratios, from 91.2 K up to a maximum temperature of 92.8 K, and then, by a further increase in the molecular ratio, the T c 0 was drastically reduced with a gradient of −1.94 K /%x.

AbstractQuantitative estimates were made by visually matching computer-simulated with experimental X-ray powder diffractometer patterns for two samples. One was a natural mixture of dickite and nacrite in about equal proportions. The second sample contained mostly quartz with corundum and mullite in small (0.5–1%) amounts. Percentages deduced from pattern matching agreed to within ±10% of the weight fractions of the components determined by an alternative method of analysis.
