Abstract
A new ternary intermetallic compound Al3GaCu9 was synthesized experimentally. A high-quality powder diffraction pattern of the compound was collected by an X-ray diffractometer, and its crystal structure was determined using the Rietveld refinement method. Results show that the compound has a cubic cell with the Al4Cu9 structure type (space group
$P\bar{4}3m$
and Pearson symbol cP52). The lattice parameter a = 8.7132(3) Å, unit-cell volume V = 661.52 Å3, calculated density Dcalc = 7.26 g/cm3, and Z = 4. The residual factors converge to Rp = 2.96%, Rwp = 4.06%, and Rexp = 2.57%. The experimentally obtained reference intensity ratio value is 7.04.
期刊介绍:
Powder Diffraction is a quarterly journal publishing articles, both experimental and theoretical, on the use of powder diffraction and related techniques for the characterization of crystalline materials. It is published by Cambridge University Press (CUP) for the International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD).
