Five samples of solid solutions GdRuxCd1−x extending up to x ≈ 0.25 were synthesized by induction-melting of the elements in sealed tantalum tubes. According to X-ray powder diffraction data, the GdRuxCd1−x samples crystallize with the cubic CsCl structure. The structures of two crystals were refined from diffractometer data: Pm3̄m, a = 372.41(4) pm, wR2 = 0.0363, 45 F2, 5 variables for GdRu0.10(1)Cd0.90(1) and a = 367.70(4) pm, wR2 = 0.0301, 39 F2, 5 variables for GdRu0.20(1)Cd0.80(1). The cadmium-ruthenium substitution has a drastic effect on the magnetic properties. All samples order ferromagnetically, however, the Curie temperature decreases drastically from 258 K for GdCd to 63.6 K for GdRu0.20Cd0.80 with a Vegard-type behavior.

New nickel-deficient stannides Eu2Ni2−xSn5 were synthesized by induction melting of the elements in sealed tantalum tubes. The solid solution was studied by X-ray powder diffraction and two crystal structures were refined on the basis of X-ray diffractometer data: Cmcm, a = 466.03(4), b = 3843.1(8), c = 462.92(9) pm, wR2 = 0.0469, 692 F2 values, 39 variables for Eu2Ni1.49(1)Sn5 and a = 466.11(9), b = 3820.1(8), c = 462.51(9) pm, wR2 = 0.0358, 695 F2 values, 39 variables for Eu2Ni1.35(1)Sn5. This new structure type can be considered as an intergrowth structure of CaBe2Ge2- and CrB-related slabs. The striking structural motifs are nickel-centered square pyramids which are condensed via common corners and edges. The layers of condensed NiSn5 units are separated by the europium atoms. The Ni1 sites within the CaBe2Ge2 slabs show significant defects which leads to split positions for one tin site. Eu2Ni1.50Sn5 shows Curie-Weiss behavior and an experimental magnetic moment of 7.74(1) μB / Eu atom, indicating stable divalent europium, as is also evident from 151Eu Mössbauer spectra. Antiferromagnetic ordering is detected at 3.5 K.

Several compositions of the solid solutions (CaxSr1−x)CuO2 and (CaxSr1−x)2CuO3, both of which are found as minor phases in the high-temperature superconductors, were prepared by solid-state reaction. X-ray powder-diffraction patterns for three compositions of (CaxSr1−x)CuO2 and two for (CaxSr1−x)2CuO3 are presented.

Powder X-ray diffraction was used to investigate the solid solution range of the Bi14SrxCa12−xO33 series in the Bi–Sr–Ca–O system. Solid solution forms over the range 1≤x≤7 in Bi14SrxCa12−xO33. Experimental X-ray reference patterns of selected members with x=1, 3, 5, and 7 have been prepared for the powder diffraction file (PDF). These phases are monoclinic, C2/m, with cell parameter a ranging from 21.473(4) to 21.868(4) Å, b from 4.3564(9) to 4.3898(9) Å, c from 12.753(2) to 12.962(2) Å, β from 102.91(2)° to 102.79(1)°, and V from 1162.9(3) to 1213.5(3) Å3, respectively. These parameters increase monotonically as Ca is continuously replaced by the larger Sr.

The crystal structure of the (Cr,Ni)4Si phase with and without Co was refined from X-ray powder diffraction data. The compound crystallises with an Au4Al-type structure (Pearson symbol cP20, space group P213): unit-cell parameter a = 0.611959(6) nm for the composition (Cr0.312Ni0.688)4Si, a = 0.612094(6) nm for (Cr0.375Ni0.625)4Si, and a = 0.612316(6) nm for (Cr0.337Co0.063Ni0.600)4Si. The magnetic susceptibility was measured in external fields up to 7 T at temperatures between 1.8 and 400 K. The three investigated samples exhibited paramagnetic behaviour described by the modified Curie-Weiss law: χ0 = 146∙10-6 emu g-at.-1, μeff = 0.21 μB/atom, θP = -13 K for (Cr0.312Ni0.688)4Si; χ0 = 158∙10-6 emu g-at.-1, μeff = 0.20 μB/atom, θP = -15 K for (Cr0.375Ni0.625)4Si; χ0 = 169∙10-6 emu g-at.-1, μeff = 0.18 μB/atom, θP = -52 K for (Cr0.337Co0.063Ni0.600)4Si.

A series of Dy2Co17−xGax polycrystalline samples with x from 0 to 7 were prepared by arc melting. X-ray powder diffraction analysis indicated that these compounds have the hexagonal Th2Ni17 structure for x≤3 and the rhombohedral Th2Zn17 structure for 3.5≤x≤7. The lattice parameters a and c increase linearly with the gallium content until x=5.3. With further increasing the gallium content x up to 7, the lattice parameter c slightly decreases, whereas the lattice parameter a increases more quickly than that for 0≤x≤5.3. The unit-cell volume shows an approximately linear increase of 6.1 Å3/Ga for 0≤x≤3.0 and 10.1 Å3/Ga for 3.5≤x≤7.0, respectively. Rietveld refinement of the Dy2Co11.7Ga5.3 compound reveals that the Ga atoms occupy all the 6c, 9d, 18f, and 18h sites and preferentially occupy the 6c site. The Curie temperature and the saturation magnetization of the rhombohedral Dy2Co17−xGax compounds decrease almost linearly with increasing Ga content.

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.

AbstractNew chemical analyses, electron and X-ray powder diffraction data, and comparison with gyrolite and reyerite show that tungusite has the ideal formula , symmetry P and a = 9.714(9), b = 9.721(9), c = 22.09(3), α = 90.13(1)°, β = 98.3(2)°, γ = 120.0(1)°, Z = 1. A structural model for tungusite is derived by splitting the double tetrahedral layer of reyerite and inserting a trioctahedral X sheet which is ideally occupied by Fe2+. Polytypism phenomena due to different relative positions between tetrahedral and X sheets are discussed. A substitutional solid solution represented by the formula [Ca14(OH)8]Si24−yAlyO60[NaxM9−(x+z)□z(OH)14−(x+y+2z)·(x+y+2z)H2O] includes tungusite (x = y = z = 0, M = Fe2+ and gyrolite (x = 1, y = 1, z = 6, M = Ca).
