Pr1+xBa2−xCu3O7±δ solid solution was investigated by means of X-ray powder diffraction and Rietveld analysis. Single-phase PrBa2Cu3O7±δ (Pr123) can be synthesized under a Pr-rich condition by sintering at 950 °C in air. The solubility of Pr1+xBa2−xCu3O7±δ solid solution is 0.08≤x≤0.80. The structure of Pr1+xBa2−xCu3O7±δ is orthorhombic for 0.08≤x<0.30, and transforms into tetragonal for 0.30≤x≤0.80. To form single-phase Pr123, the Ba sites in the Pr123 structure are partially occupied by excess Pr ions, and the smallest amount of excess Pr is x=0.08. Meanwhile, all Ba ions stay in the Ba sites.

The subsolidus phase relations in the ternary system La2O3–Bi2O3–CuO at 900 °C were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction. A new binary compound, Bi2La4O9, was found, as well as a binary and a ternary solid solution series, Bi1−xLaxO1.5 (0.16≤x≤0.33) and La2−xBixCuO4 (0≤x≤0.11), respectively.

ABSTRACTNiB, monoclinic Ni4B3, Ni2B and Ni3B were prepared by arc-melting and their roomtemperature crystal structures were refined by Rietveld analysis of neutron powder diffraction data. The NiB refinement is altogether new data. Although the B atoms in NiB form characteristic zigzag chains, the primary coordination of each atom by atoms of the other kind is similar and distinctively sevenfold, with one short (2.117 Å), two intermediate (2.152 Å), and four long (2.163 Å) bonds. Other samples with stoichiometries (YC)nNi2B2, n = 3, 4, did not yield single-phase material, but both x-ray and neutron powder diffraction suggest that the n = 4 structure is present in both of these samples. Phase-pure samples of these homologues may require non-stoichiometry and a more controlled thermal history than is attainable by arc melting.

AbstractX-ray powder patterns for the phases in the CaO-SrO-CuO ternary system, along with the corresponding crystal structures, were obtained from the literature and from the Powder Diffraction File. Available XRD patterns were compared with each other and with a calculated pattern for each phase, yielding a recommended reference pattern. The simulated powder patterns presented here deal with the phases found within the (Ca,Sr)O, (Ca,Sr)2CuO3, (Ca,Sr)14Cu24O41, (Ca,Sr)CuO2, (Ca,Sr)Cu2O3, and (Ca,Sr)Cu2O2 solid solution series and are recommended for the Powder Diffraction File (PDF).

Solid solution BiP0.9V0.1O4 from BiPXV1-XO4 system has been synthesized by solid state synthesis at 973 K. It has been shown that the phosphate-vanadate can be prepared as a single phase for x =0.9, while higher degree of (P/V)O4 substitution in BiVO4 has not been detected for the range studied. The substitution peculiarities have been investigated by X-Ray powder diffraction, infrared and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The luminescence spectrum of BiPXV1-XO4:Eu3+ solid solution reveal intensive photoluminescence lines related to f-f electronic transitions in Eu3+ ions.

The subsolidus phase relations of the Dy-Fe-Al system have been investigated by means of X-ray powder diffraction. There are 5 ternary compounds, 10 binary compounds, and 21 three-phase regions in this system. The solid-solution regions of Dy(Fe1−xAlx)2, DyFe3−xAlx, Dy2(Fe1−xAlx)17, and DyFe12−xAlx have been determined based on the dependence of their unit-cell parameters on the Al content.

The phase relations of equilibrium compounds in the pseudoternary system Bi2O3–(Ca,Sr)O–CuO at 850 and 900°C were studied. The ratio of Ca : Sr was fixed at 1:2. Starting materials of Bi2O3, CaCO3, SrCO3, and CuO with various ratios were mixed, pressed into pellets, and heated at or above and then brought back to 850 or 900°C for different durations to ensure that equilibrium had been reached. The products were cooled in air or quenched in liquid nitrogen and then identified by x-ray powder diffraction. At 850°C, only the superconducting phase, Bi2CaSr2Cu2Ox (2122), was observed inside the triangle. The other stable phases were all positioned on the boundary lines, and included CuO·⅗MO, CuO·MO, CuO·2MO, 1.½Bi2O3·0.9MO, Bi2O3·4MO, Bi2O3·9MO, and a solid solution, Bi2O3·xMO, where 0.16  x  0.82 and MO represents ⅓(CaO·2SrO). At 900°C, the above boundary line phases remained stable but the 2122 phase was not observed. The tie lines among the stable phases in the two isotherms were established.

Crystal structure determination is the key to a detailed understanding of crystalline materials and their properties. This requires either single crystals or high-quality single-phase powder X-ray diffraction data. The present contribution demonstrates a novel method to reconstruct single-phase powder diffraction data from diffraction patterns of mixtures of several components and subsequently to determine the individual crystal structures. The new method does not require recourse to any database of known materials but relies purely on numerical separation of the mixture data into individual component diffractograms. The resulting diffractograms can subsequently be treated like single-phase powder diffraction data,i.e.indexing, structure solution and Rietveld refinement. This development opens up a host of new opportunities in materials science and related areas. For example, crystal structures can now be determined at much earlier stages when only impure samples or polymorphic mixtures are available.

The crystal structure of the solid solution alkaline earth plumbate phase Sr4−xCaxPb2O8 was investigated using the X-ray Rietveld technique for x=1, 2, and 3. The lattice parameters a, b, c, and V were found to decrease linearly as the Sr at site 4h was replaced by Ca. The structure features chains of edge-sharing PbO6 octahedra, linked by seven-coordinated (Ca/Sr)–O monocapped trigonal prisms. The structure is similar to that of Pb3O4, which can be reformulated as Pb2IIPbIVO4. X-ray diffraction patterns for the solid solution members SrCa3Pb2O8, Sr2Ca2Pb2O8, and Sr3CaPb2O8 were prepared for inclusion in the Powder Diffraction File.

Crystal structures in solid solution of Sm 1+x Ba 2−x Cu 3 O 7−y (X = 0 - 0.4) have been investigated by Rietveld analysis of X-ray powder diffraction data. The structure changes from orthorhombic to tetragonal at x=0.2. With the increase of x, Tc decreases monotonically from 90 K and the compound becomes semiconducting at x=0.4.
