β-LiMnPO4 Crystallographic Information File from High-Pressure Synthesis

A 1.8 KB crystallographic information file (CIF) contains the refined structural data for the β-LiMnPO4 phase. This solid-state phase was synthesized at 8±0.3 GPa and 938±35°C from α-LiMnPO4 powder, with data refined using GSAS-II software. The dataset was authored by Josh Littleton and last updated on May 7, 2026.

Use Cases

• Refining crystal structure models based on the provided CIF file
• Simulating material properties of high-pressure LiMnPO4 phases
• Validating synthesis results of battery materials against published crystallographic data
• Teaching crystallography concepts using a real, experimentally-derived structure file

Strengths

• Specific synthesis conditions are documented (8±0.3 GPa, 938±35°C).
• Data provenance is clear, detailing the starting material (α-LiMnPO4 powder) and refinement software (GSAS-II).
• The dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (1.8 KB), indicating a single, highly specific data artifact.
