Abstract

X-ray powder diffraction data for the spinels CoAl2O4 and CoGa2O4 were measured with synchrotron radiation using λ = 1.2033 Å, determined with Si as a standard (a = 5.4305 Å). The two blue compounds prepared hydrothermally are cubic with space group Fd3m. Profile refinements gave the results: CoAl2O4 had a = 8.0968(1) Å and composition (Co0.71Al0.29]Al1.71Co0.29]O4 and CoGa2O4 had a = 8.3229(1) Å and composition Ga[CoGa]O4. The degree of inversion is thus 0.29 for CoAl2O4 and one for CoGa2O4.
