A full-pattern fitting algorithm for energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction is proposed, especially for high-pressure X-ray diffraction studies. The algorithm takes into account the errors in measuring the energy and the diffraction angle. A lognormal function is introduced to represent the background. All the peaks that are detectable in the diffraction spectra, including fluorescence and diffraction peaks, are considered together. Because all the data points in the spectra are used, the accuracy of the cell parameters obtained by this method is very high. This is very helpful in the analysis of the equation of state and the identification of new phases under high pressure.

The high-pressure structural chemistry of α-zirconium phosphate, α-Zr(HPO4)2·H2O, was studied usingin-situhigh-pressure diffraction and synchrotron radiation. The layered phosphate was studied under both hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic conditions and Rietveld refinement carried out on the resulting diffraction patterns. It was found that under hydrostatic conditions no uptake of additional water molecules from the pressure-transmitting medium occurred, contrary to what had previously been observed with some zeolite materials and a layered titanium phosphate. Under hydrostatic conditions the sample remained crystalline up to 10 GPa, but under non-hydrostatic conditions the sample amorphized between 7.3 and 9.5 GPa. The calculated bulk modulus,K0= 15.2 GPa, showed the material to be very compressible with the weak linkages in the structure of the type Zr—O—P.
