Unit cell parameters lattice

Indexings and Lattice Parameter Determination. From a powder pattern of a single component it is possible to determine the indices of many reflections. From this information and the 20-values for the reflections, it is possible to determine the unit cell parameters. As with single crystals this information can then be used to identify the material by searching the NIST Crystal Data File (see "SmaU Molecule Single Stmcture Determination" above). 

Vector notation is being used here because this is the easiest way to define the unit-cell. The reason for using both unit lattice vectors and translation vectors lies in the fact that we can now specify unit-cell parameters in terms of a, b, and c (which are the intercepts of the translation vectors on the lattice). These cell parameters are very useful since they specify the actual length eind size of the unit cell, usually in A., as we shall see. 

The heat of vaporization is 13.98 kcal./mol.3 The solid undergoes a phase transition between 100 and 125°. The high-temperature form is cubic and belongs to the space group Tl-PaS with eight molecules per unit cell the lattice parameter a0 is 12.21 A. at 125°31 and 12.00 A. at room temperature.32 The low-temperature form is of lower symmetry.31... 

The spinel blocks in (3-alumina are related by mirror planes that mn through the conduction planes that is, the orientation of one block relative to another is derived by a rotation of 180°. A second form of this compound, called (3"-alumina, has similar spinel blocks. However, these are related to each other by a rotation of 120°, so that three spinel block layers are found in the unit cell, not two. The ideal composition of this phase is identical to that of (3-alumina, but the unit cell is now rhombohedral. Referred to a hexagonal unit cell, the lattice parameters are a = 0.614 nm, c = 3.385 nm. The thickness of the spinel blocks and the conduction planes is similar in both structures.3... 

The purpose of indexing texture patterns is the geometrical reconstruction of the three-dimensional reciprocal lattice from the two-dimensional distribution of H spacings. One advantage of texture patterns is the possibility to determine all unit cell parameters of a crystal unambiguously and index all the diffraction peaks from only a single texture... 

All six unit cell parameters of a lattice can be obtained from these two equations (lO)-(ll) by measuring the Dm and Buk values of at least three independent reflections with known Miller indices, all with different h and k and, at least one of which with / 0 in order to calculate c. ...

ZSM-5) [11]. The location of Fe ions in the MEL lattice has been confirmed by all the above techniques. For example, the Increase in the unit cell parameters of the MEL lattice on Fe incorporation is shown in Fig. 1. 

Unit cell parameters were obtained from a study conducted on a single crystal of the material. The crystal class was monoclinic within the P2, or P2,/m space groups. The unit cell was characterized by the following lattice parameters a = 9.686(2) A, 6 = 8.792(4) A, c = 10.085(6) A, p = 92.33(4)°. 

Characterization.— The LSFTO powder was calcined at a series of temperatures (1250, 1300, and 1400°C) in air to investigate phase purity and densification behavior. X-ray diffraction (XRD) powder patterns are shown in Fig. 1. The sample is single phase after heating at 1250°C. At the higher sintering temperatures, the lines become sharper and the density increases. The density measured by the Archimedes method was 90.3% relative to theoretical value after annealing at 1400°C for 10 h. The XRD pattern sintered at 1400°C was completely indexed with a cubic unit cell with lattice parameter a = 3.898(8) A and V= 59.2(6) A3. The weak XRD peaks at 31, 43, 55, and 65° 20 are also from the perovskite phase and arise from a small amount of WL radiation in the incident beam. 

The unit cell parameters a and were 5.76 X and 13.20 respectively which agrees well with published data (14,15) based on fiber diagrams. Clearly the diffractogram is an hkO reciprocal lattice net as expected if the symmetry axis of the molecular helix is perpendicular to the crystal face. Since only even reflections are observed along the hOO and OkO directions the pgg base plane symmetry is confirmed in keeping with the proposed P2j2i2i space group for the orthorhombic unit cell (14,15). 

The explanation of the procedure for the measurement of the lattice parameters by x-ray diffraction is given in Chapter 4. In Table 3.6, the Si/Al relation, determined with the assistance of the interdependence between the unit cell parameter and the aluminum contents in the zeolite framework for faujasite, that is, using the so-called Breck-Flanigen relationship, is reported [52]... 

For example, if one-third of the A (or B) crystal lattice sites are coincidence points belonging to both the A and B lattices, then E = 1 / = 3. The value of also gives the ratio between the areas enclosed by the CSL unit cell and crystal unit cell. The value of E is a function of the lattice types and grain misorientation. The two grains need not have the same crystal structure or unit cell parameters. Hence, they need not be related by a rigid body rotation. The boundary plane intersects the CSL and will have the same periodicity as that portion of the CSL along which the intersection occurs (Lalena and Cleary, 2005).

If the S/Ti ratio becomes less than 1.594, the diffraction pattern becomes simpler indeed, the integer which multiplies the sixfold axis, c, is then equal to 2. S/Ti = 1.594, determined in the same way as the sulfur-deficient limit of the TiS2 phase, marks the sulfur-rich limit of a new nonstoichiometric phase. The latter, characterized by a hexagonal unit cell and lattice parameters (5, 9),... 

As discussed in Sect. 3, the first stage of crystal structure determination from powder diffraction data involves determination of the unit cell by indexing the powder diffraction pattern. Clearly it is not possible to proceed with structure solution unless the correct unit cell has been found at this initial stage. Recognizing this issue, a technique employing a GA for indexing powder diffraction data has been reported [88]. The positions of the peaks in a powder diffraction pattern depend on the unit cell dimensions (lattice parameters) [a, b, c, a, ft, y], and the aim of indexing is to determine the correct lattice parameters from...
