Abstract:
In this paper we presented the X-ray PDF investigation of orthorhombic Ba(2)In(2)O(5) and cubic Ba(2)In(1.7)P(0.3)O(5.3) and Ba(2)In(1.7)S(0.3)O(5.45) samples. Pure Ba(2)In(2)O(5) was found to be properly described-at the local scale-by the orthorhombic average structure. Ba(2)In(1.7)P(0.3)O(5.3) and Ba(2)In(1.7)S(0.3)O(5.45) cannot be described, at the local scale, by a cubic symmetry. The PDFs of these two samples clearly showed a distorted atom arrangement in the short-range which can be described again with the orthorhombic symmetry found in pure barium indate.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
