AbstractIn this study it is shown that the antiferrodistortive phase transition in titanite, CaTiSiOIn order to study the stepwise structural changes synchrotron radiation was used to collect X-ray diffraction data at 100 K, 295 K and 530 K on the 4-circle diffractometer at HASYLAB using a wavelength of 0.560(1) Å. A total of 2292 reflections were recorded at 100 K, 1540 at 295 K and 1442 at 530 K and reduced to 705 (100 K), 707 (295 K) and 358 (530 K) unique observations respectively (sin

AbstractThe crystal structure of struvite-type KMgAsO4(H2O)6 has been redetermined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data at room temperature. The previous structure model based on powder X-ray diffraction data was confirmed with higher precision and accuracy and with all hydrogen atoms located. KMgAsO4(H2O)6 undergoes a reversible phase transition of the continuous type at 263(2) K, changing the symmetry from orthorhombic to monoclinic. The corresponding Pnm21→P1121 symmetry reduction is of a translationengleiche type with index 2 and was monitored by temperature-dependent powder X-ray diffraction measurements. Such a phase transition is unprecedented for struvite-type compounds. The crystal structure of the monoclinic polymorph was determined from a two-domain crystal at 100 K. Except for the motion of one of the water molecules towards stronger hydrogen-bonding interactions, structural changes between the two polymorphs are small.

AbstractThe crystal structure of the copper aluminium phosphate mineral sieleckiite, Cu3Al4(PO4)2 (OH)12·2H2O, from the Mt Oxide copper mine, Queensland, Australia was solved from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data utilizing synchrotron radiation. Sieleckiite has monoclinic rather than triclinic symmetry as previously reported and is space group C2/m with unit-cell parameters a = 11.711(2), b = 6.9233(14), c = 9.828(2) Å, β = 92.88(3)°, V = 795.8(3) Å3and Z = 2. The crystal structure, which has been refined to R1 = 0.0456 on the basis of 1186 unique reflections with Fo > 4σF, is a framework of corner-, edge- and face- sharing Cu and Al octahedra and PO4 tetrahedra.

Two Phases

Structural changes in the high-temperature ∊-polymorph of chlorpropamide, 4-chloro-N-(propylaminocarbonyl)benzenesulfonamide, C10H13ClN2O3S, on cooling down to 100 K and on reverse heating were followed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. At temperatures below 200 K the phase transition into a new polymorph (termed the ∊′-form) has been observed for the first time. The polymorphic transition preserves the space group Pna21, is reversible and is accompanied by discontinuous changes in the cell volume and parameters, resulting from changes in molecular conformation. As shown by IR spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction, the phase transition in a powder sample is inhomogeneous throughout the bulk, and the two phases co-exist in a wide temperature range. The cell parameters and the molecular conformation in the new polymorph are close to those in the previously known α-polymorph, but the packing of the z-shaped molecular ribbons linked by hydrogen bonds inherits that of the ∊-form and is different from the packing in the α-polymorph. A structural study of the α-polymorph in the same temperature range has revealed no phase transitions.

In this work the structural characteristics of martensitic phases in the Ti–Nb system are studied in detail. While the distortion of the orthorhombic unit cell of α′′-martensite by the addition of β-stabilizing atoms is well documented in the literature, comprehensive experimental data on the detailed atomic positions and how they vary with chemical composition are missing. For this study, a series of binary Ti–Nb alloys were prepared by casting techniques, followed by homogenization treatment and water quenching. Rietveld-based analyses of X-ray diffraction data were used to study the gradual structural changes of α′- and α′′-martensites effected by the addition of Nb, and their compositional boundaries were determined. In the case of orthorhombic α′′, it was established that, besides the lattice parameters, the positions of the atoms on the (002)α′′planes respond very sensitively to the amount of Nb present.

A structure and equation of the state of δ-AlOOH has been studied at room temperature, up to 29.35 GPa, by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell using synchrotron radiation. Above ~10 GPa, we observed a phase transition with symmetry changes from P21nm to Pnnm. Pressure-volume data were fitted with the second order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state and showed that, at the phase transition, the bulk modulus (K0) of the calculated wrt 0 pressure increases from 142(5) to 216(5) GPa.

X-Light is an open-source software that is written in Python with a graphical user interface. X-Light was developed to determine residual stress by X-ray diffraction. This software can process the 0D, 1D and 2D diffraction data obtained with laboratory diffractometers or synchrotron radiation. X-Light provides several options for stress analysis and five functions to fit a peak: Gauss, Lorentz, Pearson VII, pseudo-Voigt and Voigt. The residual stress is determined by the conventional sin2ψ method and the fundamental method.

High-pressure X-ray diffraction studies have been performed on ThP using synchrotron radiation and a diamond-anvil cell. The bulk modulus B 0 and its pressure derivative B′0 have been determined (B 0 = 137 GPa; B′0 = 5.1). A phase transition from the NaCl structure to the CsCl structure was observed at about 30 GPa.
