The zýkaite samples were found at abandoned Lehnschafter mine near Mikulov in the Krušné hory Mts. (Czech Republic). It occurs as irregular white to light greenish rounded to spherical aggregates up to 1.5 cm in size composed of tiny acicular crystals up to 5 - 10 μm in length. Its empirical formula can be expressed as (Fe3.79Al0.02)Σ3.81[(AsO4)2.66(PO4)0.20(SiO4)0.07]Σ2.93 (SO4)1.07(OH)0.44·15H2O (mean of 3 spot analyzes; on the basis of As+P+S+Si = 4 apfu).Zýkaite is probably monoclinic, with the unit-cell parameters refined from X-ray powder diffraction data: a 21.195(8), b 7.052(2), c 36.518(17) Å, β 91.07(2)° and V 5458(2) Å3. Raman spectroscopy documented the presence of both (AsO4)3- and (SO4)2- units in the crystal structure of zýkaite. Multiple Raman bands connected with vibrations of water molecules and (AsO4)3- groups indicate the presence of more structurally non-equivalent these groups in the crystal stucture of zýkaite.

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.

Crystal structure of a new compound KBaB5O9 has been investigated from X-ray powder diffraction data. This compound is isostructural with KSrB5O9 and crystallizes in the monoclinic system with space group P21/c. Unit-cell parameters are a=6.7200(2) Å, b=8.3256(2) Å, c=14.3674(4) Å, and β=92.6103(3) deg. Its structure contains both B3O7 and B3O8 rings, which share a common B atom to form a complex two dimensional network constituting the basic B5O9 unit in the formula. Adjacent networks are bound together by Ba and K atoms, which have eight- and nine-coordinate sites, respectively. In addition, DTA and TGA curves reveal that KBaB5O9 decomposes at 798 °C. Photoluminescence (PL) characteristics of KBaB5O9:Eu3+ have been studied. The PL spectra show the strongest emission at 618 nm and the quench concentration of Eu3+ is 4 at. %.

The crystal structure of the partially ordered vacancy compound Cu2In14/3□4/3Se8, belonging to the system I3-III7-□2-VI12, was analyzed using X-ray powder diffraction data. Several structural models were derived from the structure of the selenium-rich phase β-Cu0.39In1.2Se2 by permuting the cations in the available Wyckoff positions. The refinement of the best model by the Rietveld method in the tetragonal space group P$\overline 4 $ 2c (No 112), with unit-cell parameters a = 5.7487(3) Å, c = 11.5106(6) Å, V = 380.40(3) Å3, led to Rp = 9.0%, Rwp = 9.9%, Rexp = 7.2%, S = 1.4 for 134 independent reflections. This model has the following Wyckoff site atomic distribution: Cu in 2e (0,0,0); In in 2b (½,0,¼), 2d (0,½,¼), and 2f (½,½,0);□ in 2f (½,½,0); Se in 8n (x,y,z).
