Refinement of hydrogen positions in natural chondrodite by powder neutron diffraction: implications for the stability of humite minerals

Abstract

The structure of a natural sample of chondrodite using powder neutron diffraction data and the Rietveld technique (P21/b; Z = 2; a = 4.7204(1) A; b = 10.2360(3) A; c = 7.8252(2) A; α = 109.11(1); V = 357.26(2) A3). Hydrogen was found to occupy the H1 sit Show more
