AbstractEuhedral crystals of the low-temperature mineral lansfordite, MgCO3 · 5H2O, have been prepared from saturated magnesium bicarbonate solutions at temperatures below 10°C. The crystals are monoclinic P21/a with a = 12.4758(7), b = 7.6258(4), c = 7.3463(6)Å, β = 101.762(6)°, V = 684.24Å3, Dcalc. = 1.693 g cm−3, Dobs. = 1.70(1) g m−3. At room temperature, the crystals slowly effloresce to produce pseudomorphs of nesquehonite, MgCO3 · 3H2O. Dehydration is complete at 300°C, with decarbonation taking place in the interval to 560°C. A new X-ray powder diffraction pattern is presented, and details of the infra-red absorption spectrum are discussed.

Potassium tetraperoxomolybdate (VI) K2[Mo(O2)4] was prepared, and its X-ray powder diffraction pattern was recorded at low temperature (258 K). The unit cell parameters were refined to a=10.7891(2) Å, α=64.925(3)°, space group R−3c (167), Z=6. The compound is isostructural with potassium tetraperoxotungstate (VI) K2[W(O2)4] (Stomberg, 1988). The sample of K2[Mo(O2)4] was characterized by analytical investigations, and the results of crystal structure refinement by Rietveld method are presented; final RP and RWP are 9.79% and 12.37%, respectively.

At 100 K, crystal data: Tl0.858Sr2PrCu2O6.61, Mr=724.345, the tetragonal system, P4/mmm, a =3.84872(6) Å, c = 12.0771(3) Å, V=178.89 Å3, Z=1, Dx=6.7235 g cm−3, μ=1146.939 cm−1 (λ= 1.54051 Å), F(000) = 315.4, the structure was refined with 26 parameters to Rwp=6.70%, Rp=5.11% for 2926 step intensities and Rb=7.83%, Rf=6.70% for 131 peaks, “goodness of fit” S = 1.75.

SummaryThe X-ray powder diffraction pattern of synthetic anorthite crystallized from a CaO-Al2O3-SiO2glass having the anorthite (1:1:2) molar ratio is identical with that reported in the literature, and also with that of a natural Japanese anorthite specimen. Increasing the CaO or SiO2content of the parent glasses used for crystallization studies has no measurable effect on that portion of the powder pattern attributable to anorthite. However, glasses containing an excess of Al2O3ranging from 5 to 10 mol % gave, after crystallization at temperatures belowc.1150 °C distinctively different powder pattern. Several powder reflections that are normally strong, such as, etc., were found to be virtually absent. Moreover, the chemical excess of Al2O3did not appear as a separate alumina-bearing phase. Upon reheating these anorthites to temperatures above 1200–50 °C or upon crystallizing a fresh portion of alumina-rich glass above 1200-50 °C, only the normal anorthite powder X-ray pattern was obtained; the pattern also contained some reflections due to corundum (α-Al2O3). Examination of the anomalous low-temperature anorthite by electron diffraction shows that the apparent absence of some powder lines is caused by both albite and Carlsbad twinning, which occur on an intimate scale not exceeding a few unit cell repeats. From the unique manner of its occurrence, the twinning is believed to be associated with the inclusion of an excess of Al3+in the anorthite.

An X-ray diffraction pattern for ErNi2Ge2 at room temperature is reported. ErNi2Ge2 is tetragonal with lattice parameters a=4.0191(2) Å, c=9.7643(2) Å, space group I4/mmm, and Z=2. The lattice parameters derived from Rietveld analysis agree well with the results of a least-squares refinement.

The X-ray powder diffraction pattern of the room temperature phase of Cd4GeSe6, a II4 □ IV VI6 semiconducting material, has been recorded and evaluated. This material crystallizes in the monoclinic space group Cc [No. 9] with a=12.847(3), b=7.407(2), c=12.854(2) Å, β=109.82(1)°, and Z=4. The powder diffraction pattern was also used to refine the crystal structure of this material employing the Rietveld method. The refinement of 56 parameters led to RWP=13.2%, RP=9.95% for 3751 step intensities and RB=7.05% and RF=5.20% for 833 reflections. Cd4GeSe6 can be considered a defect “adamantane-structure” material with a sphalerite-related superstructure.

The room temperature X-ray powder diffraction pattern of Fe2GeSe4, a II2 □ IV VI4 semiconducting compound, has been recorded and evaluated. This material was found to be orthorhombic, a=13.069(1), b=7.559(1), c=6.2037(6) Å, V=612.83(9) Å3, Z=4, Dx=5.42 gcm−3. The structure refinement carried out using the Rietveld method indicated that this material crystallizes in space group Pnma (No. 62) with an olivine type of structure. The refinement of 33 parameters led to RWP=15.3%, RP=10.2% for 5251 step intensities and RB=9.44% and RF=9.36% for 913 reflections.

A cold stage for Bragg–Brentano geometry X-ray powder diffraction is described for use in the temperature range from about 250 to 300 K. The stage is constructed in such a way that it may be removed from the diffractometer and pre-cooled to its base temperature before the sample is loaded. After loading, thermoelectric cooling maintains the specimen at low temperature (ice free) whilst the body of the stage is allowed to return to room temperature prior to remounting on the diffractometer.
