Rietveld Analysis of Elpidite Framework Flexibility Using in Situ Powder XRD Data of Thermally Treated Samples

The present study demonstrates the capabilities of the Rietveld procedure to track the structural transformations and framework flexibility on the example of the natural water-containing zirconosilicate elpidite, subjected (in bulk) to thermal treatment from room temperature to 300 °C. The methodolo...
