The crystalline structures of B-type carbonated hydroxyapatite (CHA) powders sintered at 700, 900 and 1100°C, respectively, were studied by Rietveld analysis of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) data. A series of structure parameters, including lattice parameters (a and c), bond length and the distortion index of PO4 tetrahedron (Dind) were calculated by Rietveld method to characterize the fine structure of CHA. The broadening effect of XRD reflections was separated to calculate the micro-strain and crystalline size. The results showed that CHA become more stable with the increase of sintering temperature, but the CO3 2- is almost lost at temperature of 1100°C. The quantitative results about crystal structure of CHA based on crystalline structure simulated by Rietveld method are obtained.

A series of thallium ternary chalcogenides with the composition Tl2x In2(1−x)Se2, x = 0.2, 0.3,...0.9, have been studied by X-ray powder and, for some of them, single-crystal diffraction. They are tetragonal, space group I4/mcm, Z = 4, and isostructural with the binary semiconductor TlSe. Their crystal structures have been solved by direct methods and refined by the Rietveld method to a precision which is satisfactorily comparable to single-crystal results. As x is changed from x = 0.2 to x = 0.9 the unit-cell parameters and volume decrease or increase following Kurnakov's law, which is valid for solid solutions. Refined positional parameters of Se, In—Se and Tl—Se bond lengths vary with x also according to the same law. The distribution of In and Tl cations in 4(a) and 4(b) sites depends on the stoichiometry x and the crystals are composed of [In3+Se2]_{\infty}^- chains along the c axis in which InSe4 tetrahedra share edges; the chains are interconnected with Tl+(In+) ions.

The crystal structure of the ordered vacancy compound (OVC) Cu3In5Te9 was analyzed using powder X-ray diffraction data. Several structural models were derived from the structure of the Cu-poor Cu-In-Se compound b-Cu0.39In1.2Se2 by permuting the cations in the available site positions. The refinement of the best model by the Rietveld method in the tetragonal space group P2c (Nº 112), with unit cell parameters a = 6.1852(2) Å, c = 12.3633(9) Å, V = 472.98(4) Å3, led to Rp = 7.1 %, Rwp = 8.5 %, Rexp = 6.4 %, S = 1.3 for 162 independent reflections. This model has the following Wyckoff site atomic distribution: Cu1 in 2e (0,0,0); In1 in 2f (½,½,0), In2 in 2d (0,½,¼); Cu2-In3 in 2b (½,0,¼); in 2a (0,0,¼); Te in 8n (x,y,z).

Psilocybin {systematic name: 3-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-1H-indol-4-yl dihydrogen phosphate} is a zwitterionic tryptamine natural product found in numerous species of fungi known for their psychoactive properties. Following its structural elucidation and chemical synthesis in 1959, purified synthetic psilocybin has been evaluated in clinical trials and has shown promise in the treatment of various mental health disorders. In a recent process-scale crystallization investigation, three crystalline forms of psilocybin were repeatedly observed: Hydrate A, Polymorph A, and Polymorph B. The crystal structure for Hydrate A was solved previously by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This article presents new crystal structure solutions for the two anhydrates, Polymorphs A and B, based on Rietveld refinement using laboratory and synchrotron X-ray diffraction data, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Utilizing the three solved structures, an investigation was conducted via Rietveld method (RM) based quantitative phase analysis (QPA) to estimate the contribution of the three different forms in powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns provided by different sources of bulk psilocybin produced between 1963 and 2021. Over the last 57 years, each of these samples quantitatively reflect one or more of the hydrate and anhydrate polymorphs. In addition to quantitatively evaluating the composition of each sample, this article evaluates correlations between the crystal forms present, corresponding process methods, sample age, and storage conditions. Furthermore, revision is recommended on characterizations in recently granted patents that include descriptions of crystalline psilocybin inappropriately reported as a single-phase `isostructural variant.' Rietveld refinement demonstrated that the claimed material was composed of approximately 81% Polymorph A and 19% Polymorph B, both of which have been identified in historical samples. In this article, we show conclusively that all published data can be explained in terms of three well-defined forms of psilocybin and that no additional forms are needed to explain the diffraction patterns.

Ca2 Ln 8(SiO4)6O2 apatites with Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd and Tb crystallize in space group P63/m. The crystal structure of apatite-type Ca2Ce8(SiO4)6O2 [dicalcium octacerium hexakis(silicate) dioxide], which has been synthesized by calcination, was refined from powder X-ray diffraction data using the Rietveld method. A database survey shows that contrary to the previously published Ca2Ce8(SiO4)6O2 structure [Skakle et al. (2000). Powder Diffr. 15, 234–238], the cell volume of the structure reported here is consistent with those of other Ln apatites.

Magnesium powder has become an important material in the development of science and technology such as alloy and hydrogen storage. In this work, the chemical composition, crystallite size, and crystal structure of the magnesium powder sample have been studied by using x-ray fluorescent and x-ray diffraction. The x-ray diffraction data of the magnesium powder sample was analyzed by using the Rietveld method to obtain the crystal structure. Our results show that the purity of our magnesium powder sample is 93.1%. Our sample has good crystallinity with the average crystallite size of 31 nm. The crystal structure is found to be a hexagonal closed-packed structure with the lattice constants of 3.2100 Å (a and b-axis) and 5.2107 Å (c-axis). Our result revealed that the lattice constant in the c-axis of magnesium powder is influenced by impurity. This finding suggests that the impurity can affect the crystal structure of a material in general.
