Three phosphates, MIBaIn2(PO4)3 with MI=Na, K, Cs, isostructural to the langbeinite structure, have been studied from powder diffraction data collected with monochromatic radiation obtained from a conventional X-ray source. Precise powder data are reported, as well as cell parameters, i.e., a=10.026 08(9) Å, a=10.121 57(13) Å and a=10.226 94(9) Å for MI=Na, K and Cs, respectively. A Rietveld refinement has been carried out (space group P213), with final RF factors, 0.061, 0.041 and 0.027, and Rwp factors, 0.196, 0.142 and 0.129, for MI=Na, K and Cs, respectively. There are two octahedrally coordinated In3+ ions in the asymmetric unit and the final refinements suggest disorder on the two sites of the MI/Ba sublattice.

New quinary phases with the CeAl2Ga2 (tI10, I4/mmm) and Y0.5Co3Ge3 (hP8-2, P6/mmm) structure types were found at 500 ºC in the Gd–Ca–Fe–Co–Ge system based on X-ray powder diffraction data. They are Gd1‑xCaxFe2‑yCoyGe2 (x = 0.085(7)-0.551(6), y = 0.25-0.75, a = 3.99468(6)-4.00003(8), c = 10.1279(2)-10.3981(5) Å) and Ca0.5‑xGdxFe3‑yCoyGe3 (x = 0.031(1)-0.314(8), y = 0.75-2.25, a = 5.1081(1)-5.1218(1), c = 3.9751(1)-4.0451(2) Å). The c-parameter of the tetragonal CeAl2Ga2-type (122) phase cell depends much more on the Fe/Co and Gd/Ca ratios, than the a-parameter (which remains nearly the same). The volume of the 122 cell increases with increasing Fe and Ca content. The c-parameter of the hexagonal cell of the Y0.5Co3Ge3-type (0.533) phase also depends more strongly on the Fe/Co content than the a-parameter, but Gd/Ca substitutions have little effect on the cell parameters. The following new quaternary and ternary phases were also discovered: GdFe2‑yCoyGe2 (y = 0.5-1.5, a = 3.99419(5)-3.99750(7), c = 10.3271(2)-10.1173(3) Å) with CeAl2Ga2-type structure and Gd0.5Fe3‑yCoyGe3 (y = 0.75-1.5, a = 5.1247(8)-5.1225(7), c = 4.052(1)-4.010(1) Å), Ca0.5Fe3‑yCoyGe3 (y = 0.75-2.25, a = 5.1153(2)-5.1066(2), c = 4.0451(2)-3.9839(3) Å), Ca0.5Fe3Ge3 (a = 5.10167(9), c = 4.06565(7) Å), and Ca0.5Co3Ge3 (a = 5.0899(2), c = 3.9199(1) Å) with Y0.5Co3Ge3-type structure.

The crystal structure of a spectacular sample of stilbite from Pune region located in the Deccan Traps (western India) has been refined using X-Ray powder diffraction data and the Rietveld method. The Rietveld refinement was carried out using the computer program Diffracplus TOPAS 4.1. The pseudo-Voigt (pV) profile function was used for the fit of the peaks. The Rietveld refinement of the analyzed sample in the space group C2/m (No.12): a=13.606 �, b=18.260 �, c=11.253 �, b=127.432�, Z=8, confirm the basic stilbite structure. The chemical composition of the stilbite crystals from Pune region (India) was determined by EDX analysis. The paper presents a new set of the unit cell parameters and fractional coordinates that define the stilbite crystal structure. The quality of the sample analyzed was pristine, the sample being collected from an association of apophyllite-stilbite crystals of centimetric dimensions.

X-ray powder diffraction data for the trigonal form of disilver trihydrogen paraperiodate, Ag2H3IO6, are reported. The cell parameters are a=5.941 89(3), c=12.7253(1) Å, V=389.089(6) Å3, and ρ=5.65 g cm−3 for Z=3. A full-profile Rietveld refinement confirms the monophasic nature of the sample and the presence of two-dimensional corrugated layers of the A2BO6 type linked by hydrogen bonds. Short unsupported Ag–Ag contacts (about 3.02 Å) of the argentophilic type are also shown.

The ferroelectric ceramic BaTiO3 was synthesized at 1000 °C for 5 h. The structure of the system under study was refined on the basis of X-ray powder diffraction data using the Rietveld method. The system crystallizes in the space group P4mm(99). The refinement of instrumental and structural parameters led to reliable values for the Rp, Rwp and Rexp.We use the TOPAS software of Bruker AXS to refine this ceramic powders and show its conformation
