Abstract

Yttrium oxalate dihydrate, Y2(C2O4)3.2H2O, has been investigated by means of X-ray powder diffraction. Unit cell dimensions were determined by an indexing program based on the variation of parameters by successive dichotomies. The diffractometer data were collected with strictly monochromatic radiation. A monoclinic cell was found: a=9.3811(8)Å, b=11.6385(15)Å, c=5.9726(7)Å, β=96.079(8)°, which is characterized by the figures of merit M20=87 and F30=112 (0.0065,41). A preliminary analysis of the anisotropic line broadening has revealed some microstructural properties. It is shown that line broadening is mainly due to a micro-strain effect.
