XRD of spinel and inverse spinel structure

[Andrew M]

Hi everyone,

I have a question. Can we use XRD to tell if a material has a spinel or inverse structure? If yes, how should we identify it. If not, what are the ways to differentate spinel and inverse spinel structure. I a newbie in XRD analysis. Please kindly advise. Thanks.

Andrew, it doesn't appear that you've done any significant amount of research on your own yet, so don't expect the community to be eager to just jump out and pop all of life's mysteries for you. Define the things you have found on your own and some of the pro's and cons of the avenues that you see as having the potential to reach discovery on your own; then you'd have a better chance of seeking informed replies. Good luck to you.
