Abstract

Donathite from Ramberget (Hestmona), Norway, has been examined by Rietveld structure refinement, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Testing of both single- and multi-phase models by Rietveld structure refinement gave the best fit to the pattern for a mixture of a cubic spinel (Fd3m, a = 8.3847(2) Å, Fe
