Abstract

Crystal data are given for synthetic mixed bariumstrontium sulfates, and a powder pattern for (Ba0.50Sr0.50)SO4 is presented. Taken with previously published data for the end-member sulfates, we verify the nonlinear behavior of the unit-cell edges with composition, and present tables of interpolated data from which d-spacings for intermediate compositions can be calculated. The use of these data for analysis of complex natural samples by use of the 121 peak is described.
