Se. Dann et Mt. Weller, THE AB-INITIO STRUCTURE DETERMINATION OF BABESIO4 FROM POWDER X-RAY-DIFFRACTION DATA - A NEW ORDERED STUFFED CRISTOBALITE, Materials research bulletin, 33(5), 1998, pp. 683-691
The structure of BaBeSiO4 has been determined from powder X-ray diffra
ction data and consists of an ordered framework of BeO4, and SiO4, tet
rahedra configured in a cristobalite-type geometry. Barium occupies st
rongly distorted 12-coordinate sites within the framework. Be-9 and Si
-29 MASNMR spectra are consistent with the ordered distribution of ber
yllium and silicon determined for the framework. (C) 1998 Elsevier Sci
