Preparing CaBi2O4 by Solid State Method and Studying Its Structural Properties

Abstract

The compound CaBi₂O₄ was  synthesized by solid state reaction and studied by X-ray powder diffraction method, Infra-red spectroscopy (IR) , Differential thermal analysis (DTA) .The values d and hkl indexes were calculated. The discussion indicate that, the compound belongs to monoclinic type of crystallization.The parameters  a= 14.007 (A^o) ,b=11.551(A^o), c=12.264 (A^o),the volume of unit cell was V= 1944.064 (A^o)³, theoretical and experimental densities were  identified. Z=8.
