Rietveld refinement of a natural cobaltian mansfieldite from synchrotron data
نویسندگان
چکیده
A structural refinement of a natural sample of a Co-bearing mansfieldite, AlAsO(4)·2H(2)O [aluminium orthoarsenate(V) dihydrate], has been performed based on synchrotron powder diffraction data, with 5% of the octa-hedral Al sites replaced by Co. Mansfieldite is the aluminium analogue and an isotype of the mineral scorodite (FeAsO(4)·2H(2)O), with which it forms a solid solution. The framework structure is based on AsO(4) tetra-hedra sharing their vertices with AlO(4)(H(2)O)(2) octa-hedra. Three of the four H atoms belonging to the two water mol-ecules in cis positions take part in O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding.

متن کاملIn-situ HRPD study of superstructure OII phase in polycrystalline samples of YBCOx at 300 ºC
Superstructure orthorhombicII (OII) phase in polycrystalline samples of YBCOx was observed by using synchrotron in-situ high resolution powder diffraction (HRPD) techniques at 300˚C. Rietveld method (RM) refinement was employed to analyse the collected diffraction data under proper oxygen partial pressure atmospheres. Our study indicates that by oxygen uptake, the samples undergo structural pha...

Mackinawite,tetragonal FeS, has been synthesised by reacting iron with Na2S solutions. A Rietveld structure refinement of X-ray powder diffractipn data, recorded using X-rays monochromated from synchrotron radiationwith a wavelength of 0.6023 A, has been performed. The structure has been refined in the tetragonal sJ'.!lcegroup, P4/nmm, and has the following cell parameters: a = 3.6735(4), c = 5...
متن کاملNew Developments in Microstructure Analysis via Rietveld Refinement
Innovative applications of the Rietveld method [1-3] are likely to include new developments in microstructure analysis. More and more samples show microstructure effects on line profile shape, width and position. Reasons are obviously the powder diffractometer resolution improvements at leading synchrotron sources, and the increasing user number. When the minimal full width at half maximum is a...

The apatite-type compound Ba(5)(AsO(4))(3)Cl, penta-barium tris-[arsenate(V)] chloride, has been synthesized by ion exchange at high temperature from a synthetic sample of mimetite (Pb(5)(AsO(4))(3)Cl) with BaCO(3) as a by-product. The results of the Rietveld refinement, based on high resolution synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data, show that the title compound crystallizes in the same str...
