Abstract The Debye-Waller factors of the ions in equimolar KCl — KBr solid solution at 300 K have been determined from X-ray diffraction data. It was observed that the amplitudes of ther-mal vibration are slightly higher in the solid solution than in the pure components. The corresponding vibrational excess entropy was found to be about 10% of the entropy of ideal mixing.

Abstract The equiatomic indide ScPtIn (ZrNiAl type, space group P 6 ‾ $‾{6}$ 2m) shows an extended solid solution Sc3Pt3–xIn3. Several samples of the Sc3Pt3–xIn3 series were synthesized from the elements by arc-melting and subsequent annealing, or directly in a high frequency furnace. The lowest platinum content was observed for Sc3Pt2.072(3)In3. All samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and their lattice parameters and several single crystals were studied on the basis of precise single crystal X-ray diffractometer data. The correct platinum occupancy parameters were refined from the diffraction data. Decreasing platinum content leads to decreasing a and c lattice parameters. Satellite reflections were observed for the Sc3Pt3–xIn3 crystals with x = 0.31–0.83. These satellite reflections could be described with a modulation vector ( 1 3 , 1 3 , γ ) $\left(\frac{1}{3},\frac{1}{3},\gamma \right)$ ( γ = 1 2 $\gamma =\frac{1}{2}$ c* for all crystals) and are compatible with trigonal symmetry. The interplay of platinum filled vs. empty In6 trigonal prisms is discussed for an approximant structure with space group P3m1.

AbstractDental amalgam has been used as a filling material in dentistry for over 100 years. The reactants, Ag3Sn alloy and mercury, form silver-mercury and tin-mercury products. Previous X-ray diffraction studies have resulted in some disagreement concerning unit-cell structure and parameters of the products. In this study, X-ray diffraction measurements were carried out on tin-mercury mixtures, tin-mercury alloys, dental amalgam, and single crystals of tin and mercury. The diffraction data for the tin-mercury alloys were programed for an IBM 650 computer utilizing Cohen's least-squares method. The tin-mercury product was found to be a solid solution possessing hexagonal-symmetry elements. The parameters ranged from: c0 = 2.995 A to 2.984 A, co/ao = 0.931.

The monoclinic silicates Lu2SiO5 and Sc2SiO5 (Y2SiO5 type, space groupC2/c) forma solid solution Lu2−xScxSiO5. Samples with x = 0.5, 0.8, 1.0 were synthesized ceramically from Lu2O3, Sc2O3, and SiO2. The structures of three crystals with x = 0.88, 0.77, and 0.50 were refined on the basis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The rare earth (RE) atoms occupy two crystallographically different 8ƒ sites with oxygen coordination numbers (CN) of 6 (RE2) and 7 (RE1). Refinements of the occupancy parameters showed Lu/Sc mixing for both sites with a strong preference of the smaller scandium atoms for CN6

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.

The results of comparative studies of the optical and structural properties of Hg0.7Cd0.3Te bulk crystals and epitaxial films grown by various methods are presented. The data of photoluminescence studies performed in the temperature range 4.2−300K showed the similarity of the optical properties of different samples and indicated a significant disordering of the solid solution. According to X-ray diffraction data, however, the scale of the disordering was not directly related to the structural quality of the material. The prospects for using the material grown by various methods in optoelectronics applications are discussed.

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction data (Mo Kα radiation) are used to determine the structure of the Δ = 0.174 member of a (YO1 − ΔFΔ)F1 + Δ, 0.12 ≤ Δ ≤ 0.22, wide-range non-stoichiometric solid solution in the yttrium oxide fluoride system. The structure is refined as a composite modulated structure composed of two mutually incommensurable Q and H substructures with overall superspace-group symmetry Acmm(0,0,1.174..)0s0. The Q substructure has lattice parameters a = 5.415 (2), bQ = 5.534 (2) and cQ = 5.525 (2) Å, and superspace-group symmetry Acmm(0,0,1.174..)0s0. The H substructure has lattice parameters a = 5.415 (2), bH = 1/2bQ = 2.767 (1) and cH  = 4.696 (2) Å, and superspace-group symmetry Pmcm(0,1/2,0.8518...)s00. Refinement on 338 unique reflections converged to R = 0.025, while a previous conventional superstructure refinement led to R = 0.101. This lowering of the R factor goes hand-in-hand with a substantial reduction in the number of refined parameters.

AbstractThe mixed cation triel borate Ga4In4B15O33(OH)3 was synthesized in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus at high-pressure/high-temperature conditions of 12.5 GPa and 1300°C. Although the product could not be reproduced in further experiments, its crystal structure could be reliably determined via single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Ga4In4B15O33(OH)3 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I41/a (origin choice 2) with the lattice parameters a = 11.382(2), c = 15.244(2) Å, and V = 1974.9(4) Å3. The structure of the quaternary triel borate consists of a complex network of BO4 tetrahedra, edge-sharing InO6 octahedra in dinuclear units, and very dense edge-sharing GaO6 octahedra in tetranuclear units.
