“…The crystallographic structure of the compound BiEFe40 9 at room temperature, revealed by X-ray diffraction (Koizumi, Niizeki & Ikeda, 1964;Tutov, Mylnikova, Parfenova, Bokov & Kizhaev, 1964;Niizeki & Wachi, 1968;Tutov & Markin, 1970), belongs to the orthorhombic space group Pbam (D9n). The dimensions of the unit cell, which contains two formula units, are (Niizeki & Wachi, 1968 Tables for X-ray Crystallography, 1952) the special positions 4(h) and 4(f) with point symmetries m~ and 2~ respectively.…”
