Rietveld refinement of langbeinite-type K2YHf(PO4)3

چکیده
Potassium yttrium hafnium tris-(orthophosphate) belongs to the langbeinite-family and is built up from [MO(6)] octa-hedra [in which the positions of the two independent M sites are mutually occupied by Y and Hf in a 0.605 (10):0.395 (10) ratio] and [PO(4)] tetra-hedra connected via vertices into a three-dimensional framework. This framework is penetrated by large closed cavities in which the two independent K atoms are located; one of the K atoms is nine-coordinated and the other is 12-coordinated by surrounding O atoms. The K, Y and Hf atoms lie on threefold rotation axes, whereas the P and O atoms are located in general positions.

Polycrystalline silver(I) deca-calcium heptakis(orthophos-phate), AgCa10(PO4)7, was obtained by solid-state reaction. It is isotopic with members of the series MCa10(PO4)7 (M = Li, Na, K and Cs), and is closely related to the structure of β-Ca3(PO4)2. The crystal structure of the title compound is built up from a framework of [CaO9] and two [CaO8] polyhedra, one [CaO6] octa-hedron (site symmetr...
متن کاملRietveld refinement of the crystallographic structure of human dental enamel apatites
X-ray powder diffraction and chemical analyses show that mammalian dental enamel apatite is an impure form of hydroxylapatite, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 (structure described in Elliott 1994). The major difference of enamel apatite from hydroxylapatite is in the presence of about 3 wt% CO3. Details of the crystallographic structures of carbonate-containing apatites (including minerals) are important becau...
