Structure and polytypism of bementite, a modulated layer silicate

HRTEM imaging and electron diffraction, combined with powder XRD data and a partial powder profile analysis by the Rietveld method, have been used to determine the parent structure and the polytypism of bementite, Mn7Si6O15(OH)8, a modulated 1:1 layer silicate from Franklin, New Jersey.
