The germanate CsSbGeO, grown spontaneously via the high-temperature solution method from CsMoO used as a flux, crystallizes in the orthorhombic system with = 12.3636(2), = 13.8521(2), = 31.

In addition to ultrarapid cooling techniques such as melt spinning, we show the possibility of obtaining monoclinic AlGe by water-quenching in a quartz tube. Monoclinic AlGe and rhombohedral AlGe are competing phases with similar stability since they both begin to decompose above 230 °C.

- The study examined how water (H2O) is inserted into a material called AlPO4-54·xH2O using techniques like X-ray diffraction and molecular simulations.
- It was found that water molecules tend to cluster near the walls of the material's pores and that their arrangement is quite disordered.
- While adding water helps to prevent the material from collapsing, it also leads to the beginning of chemical bonds forming between water and aluminum, which can cause the material to amorphize (lose its crystalline structure).
The dissolution of α-FePO(4) and the α-Ga(0.75)Fe(0.25)PO(4) solid solution with α-quartz-type structures under hydrothermal conditions in 1 M HNO(3) aqueous solution was investigated by in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at the Fe K-edge.
