The crystal structure of the new ternary aluminide Sc1.33Pd3Al8was refined by the Rietveld method from X-ray powder diffraction data. It crystallizes with a Gd1.33Pt3Al8-type structure:hR51-14.00,R-3m,a= 4.29142(4),c= 38.1638(4) Å,RB= 0.0344. The main feature of the structure is the statistical distribution of Sc atoms and Al3triangles within atomic layers of composition Sc2Al3(Sc0.67Al within the translation unit here), which is likely to correspond to stacking disorder of ordered layers. During the final cycles of the refinement, the occupancies of the corresponding sites were fixed at occ. = 2/3 for Sc in Wyckoff position 6cand occ. = 1/3 for Al in 18h. The unit cell of Sc1.33Pd3Al8contains six Sc0.67Al layers, nine Pd and eighteen Al atom layers along the crystallographic direction [001]. Together with the structure types Tb0.67PdAl3, Y2Co3Ga9, Sc0.67Fe2Si5, Er4Pt9Al24, Yb0.67Ni2Al6, and ErNi3Al9, the structure type Gd1.33Pt3Al8forms a family of intergrowth structures built up of three kinds of similar monoatomic layer.

The compounds BaR2O4, (R = Pr, Tb), where R are two of the less frequent trivalent lanthanides, have been prepared under reducing atmosphere from mixtures of BaO2, the R metals, and the oxides Pr2O3 and Tb4O7, respectively. The crystal structure of BaR2O4 have been refined from X-ray powder diffraction data by the Rietveld method of profile analysis using 31 parameters in each case. Both oxides are orthorhombic, isotypic with SrY2O4, of the perovskite-related CaFe2O4 structure type, S.G. Pnma (No. 62), Z = 4, a = 10.6113(8), b = 3.6303(3), c = 12.485(1) Å, and V = 480.93(5) Å3 for R = Pr; and a = 10.4282(8), b = 3.4893(3), c = 12.1809(6) Å, and V = 443.22(3) Å3 for R = Tb. The R–O distances vary between 2.15(6) to 3.40(6) Å for R = Pr, and between 2.15(3) to 2.91(5) Å for R = Tb.

The crystal structure of skutterudite-related phase IrGe1.5Se1.5 has been refined by the Rietveld method from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. Refined crystallographic data for IrGe1.5Se1.5 are a=12.0890(2) Å, c=14.8796(3) Å, V=1883.23(6) Å3, space group R3 (No. 148), Z=24, and Dc=8.87 g/cm3. Its crystal structure can be derived from the ideal skutterudite structure (CoAs3), where Se and Ge atoms are ordered in layers perpendicular to the [111] direction of the original skutterudite cell. Weak distortions of the anion and cation sublattices were also observed.

Ab Initio Structure

θ-KAlF4 is a new nanosized potassium tetrafluoroaluminate metastable polymorph (13×18×55 nm3). The crystal structure is solved ab initio from X-ray powder diffraction data in direct space [orthorhombic unit cell with a=8.3242(3) Å, b=7.2502(3) Å, c=11.8875(4) Å, V=717.44(5) Å3, Z=8, and space group Pnma]. This new structure type, unique in the whole AIMIIIF4 family, is related to the fluorite structure and consists of AlF6 octahedra linked via a common edge forming a bioctahedral motif which is trans-connected through the corner-shared fluorine, resulting in the formation of infinite ladderlike double file of octahedra ([Al2F8]2−)n running along the b axis.

Variable Stoichiometry

The crystal structure of the mullite in a commercial material was refined by the Rietveld method using laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. In this one refinement, most of the common challenges—including variable stoichiometry (partially occupied sites), multiple impurity phases, amorphous material, constraints, restraints, correlation, anisotropic profiles, microabsorption, and contamination during grinding—are encountered and the thought processes during the refinement are described step-by-step. Interpretation of the refinements includes bulk chemical analysis, chemical composition of the mullite, assessment of the geometry, bond valence sums, the displacement coefficients, crystallite size and microstrain, comparison to similar structures to assess chemical reasonableness, and the nature of the amorphous phase.

Cubic Structure

The crystal structure of a new cubic cristobalite-related sodium aluminosilicate Na1.45Al1.45Si0.55O4 [P213, a = 14.553 (1) Å] has been modelled using a modulation wave approach and the model tested against X-ray powder diffraction data using the Rietveld method. Owing to there being 64 independent positional parameters and eight independent Na sites, refinement of the tetrahedral framework atom positions and Na occupancies was not possible. The framework was modelled successfully in terms of q 1 = 1\over 4〈020〉_p^*-type (p = parent) modulation waves with the requirement that the MO4 (M = Al0.725Si0.275) tetrahedra be as close to regular as possible. Na/vacancy ordering was modelled successfully in terms of q 2 = 1\over 4〈220〉_p^* modulation waves. Only the Na-atom positions were refined. The significance of this unique modulated cubic cristobalite-related structure and the possible insight it provides to understanding β-cristobalite are discussed.

Dielectric Ceramics

The crystal structure of microwave dielectric ceramics in the (1 − x)La(Mg0.5Ti0.5)O3 (LMT)–xBaTiO3 (BT) (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.9) system has been refined by Rietveld method using x-ray powder diffraction data. LMT and BT were found to form a solid solution in the whole compositional range. The increase of BaTiO3 content results in the following sequence of structure transformations of those solid solutions: P21/n (a−a−c+, B-site ordered) → Pbnm (a−a−c+) → I4/mcm (a0a0c−) → Pm3m (a0a0a0). These structural changes are related to the disappearance of B-site cation ordering (x > 0.1), in-phase tilting (x > 0.3), and antiphase tilting (x > 0.5), respectively.
