Abstract

This paper presents the powder X-ray diffraction data of BaFI recorded using a Guinier diffractometer and Mo Kα1 radiation. BaFI stabilizes at standard temperature of 25 °C and standard-atmospheric pressure (STP) in the tetragonal structure (space group P4/nmm; No. 129) with lattice parameters a=4.660(1) Å and c=7.960(5) Å. Our observed pattern is different from the existing observed powder diffraction data reported in the PDF files 34-716 (Beck, 1976) and 31-139 (), but matches almost perfectly with the pattern calculated by us from the reported single crystal data ( and with the calculated data available in PDF file 70-0481. Further, our data provide a number of new Bragg peaks extending beyond the range of d values available in the existing PDF files.
