Jg. Wang et al., Preparation and X-ray characterization of low-temperature phases of R2SiO5(R = rare earth elements), MATER RES B, 36(10), 2001, pp. 1855-1861
Low-temperature phases of R2SiO5 (R = Y, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Yb) were s
ynthesized by the sol-gel method. The X-ray powder diffraction patterns for
these new phases were indexed with the monoclinic unit cell, arid the unit
cell parameters were refined. The structure of Y2SiO5 with the space group
P2(1)/c was determined by powder diffraction data. (C) 2001 Elsevier Scien
