“…As illustrated in Figure 1a, the diffraction peaks in both TML samples were high and narrow, which demonstrated the outstanding crystallinity of the natural TML. 41 The characteristic peaks of TML were observed at 2θ = 13.87°, 17.77°, 19.20°, 20.97°, 22.21°, 25.60°, 30.15°, 34.67°, and 44.23°corresponding to crystal planes (101), (021), (030), (211), (220), (012), (122), (051), and (152), respectively, 42,43 which were well in accordance with the standard schorl pattern (PDF #43-1464). TML belonged to the trigonal system, and the cell parameters were characterized by a = b ≠ c. The (101) and (030) crystal planes were employed to calculate the cell parameters a and c, respectively.…”
