t-AlF3: Crystal structure determination from X-ray powder diffraction data. A new MX3 corner-sharing octahedra 3D network
TL;DR: In this paper, a relation with Na4Ca4Al7F33 is found which may be considered as a stuffed polytype, which belongs to the family of 3D corner sharing octahedra networks, the Al atoms lying at the points of a 3D six-connected net.
Journal ArticleDOI
Smoothing and validity of crystallite‐size distributions from X‐ray line‐profile analysis
A. Le Bail,Daniel Louër +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a smoothing procedure is described which eliminates spurious details on crystallite-size distribution functions deduced from X-ray line profiles, based on a least-squares process with a stabilization scheme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Third structure determination by powder diffractometry round robin (SDPDRR-3)
A. Le Bail,Lachlan M. D. Cranswick,Karim Adil,Angela Altomare,Maxim Avdeev,Radovan Cerny,Corrado Cuocci,C. Giacovazzo,I. Halasz,Saul H. Lapidus,J. N. Louwen,Anna Moliterni,Lukáš Palatinus,Rosanna Rizzi,E. C. Schilder,Peter W. Stephens,Kevin H. Stone,J.B. van Mechelen +17 more
TL;DR: The results from the third round of the powder diffractometry round robin were discussed in this article, and it was concluded that solving a structure from powder data remains a challenge, at least one order of magnitude more difficult than solving a problem with similar complexity from single-crystal data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short-range order in the anion-excess fluorite-relatedCa0.68Ln0.32F2.32solid solutions: EXAFS study of theLn3+environment
TL;DR: Anion-excess fluorite-type Ca0.68Ln0.32F2.32series and Ca2LnF7-related low-temperature superstructures were studied by EXAFS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystal structure and thermal behaviour of H2Ti3O7: A new defective ramsdellite form from Li+H+ exchange on Li2Ti3O7
A. Le Bail,J.L. Fourquet +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new form of H 2 Ti 3 O 7, belonging to the ramsdellite structural type, is obtained by a simple Li + H + exchange on Li 2 Ti O 7.
