Neutron powder diffraction data and Rietveld refinement of the new MgSO4·5D2O phase at room temperature under an applied load of 31 tonnes (∼2.17 GPa). These data were collected on the ISIS PEARL diffractometer in 2009 (Gromnitskaya et al., 2013) but could not be indexed until now. The reflection markers are (top down) MgSO4·5D2O, ice VI, ice VII, Pb and WC (the strongest Bragg peaks of the various accessory phases are labelled). The refined lattice parameters of MgSO4·5D2O are a = 10.857 (1), b = 5.1069 (8), c = 12.058 (2) Å and V = 668.6 (1) Å3. |
