Abstract

Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) data were collected for a new phase of SrGd2O4. Analysis using the Rietveld method was carried out and it was found that the sample crystallizes in the orthorhombic symmetry with CaFe2O4 related structure. The lattice parameters are found to be a=12.0521(2) Å, b=10.1327(2) Å, c=3.4757(4) Å and Z=4. For X-ray data RF=4.9%, RB=7.6%, RP=8.1% and χ2=1.51. The structure can be described as an assembly of bioctahedron [Gd2O10] which are linked together by O2− anions and of dodecahedron of SrO8.
