Measurement Method: Neutron diffraction
"Neutron diffraction intensity data were collected at room temperature with a single counter powder diffractometer at the Reactor of the National Institute of Standards and Technology... The observed intensities were corrected for absorption using the absorption correction factors for cylinders given in the International Tables and the value of µR determined experimentally... Monochromatic beam: 220 reflection of Cu monochromator Wavelength: 1.540(1) σ Sample container: Al can of about 7 mm diameter 2θ angular range: 5°-115°, steps: 0.05° ... The Rietveld refinement of this mixture of three phases was carried out with the multiphase program GSAS..."
