Well...the question: So what? inherently contains "Structure-Property
Relations"
indeed. I thought the message was tacitly conveyed. It seems I was wrong.

"Crystal structure ... is the properties ..."
It does not sound right but "very exiting "science"" is
to find link between the crystal structure and the properties...

With regard to MgB2 and atomic coordinates
1) Armel's rightit's routine work at this day & age.
2) I also agree that atomic coordinates is a prerequisite for deeper
understanding etc etc.
My views on this matter however:
No crystal structure can make a living as a crystal structure

Absolutely ! The whole humanity is lucky that things to be
found, whatever, are discovered times to times. Fire, the wheel,
who remember the inventors ?
But our era is lacking of m
Dang... I'm glad that we didn't have to wait for excellent science to

A serendipity case. Once more. Where is excellency exactlly,
according to you ? I repeat that excellency would be to produce
a theory which would have allowed to predict the MgB2
superconductor properties. The

Alan, you already occupy the place of leader of the
Group of Crystallography at ILL, the best neutron
reactor for research in the world ;-). Knowing how

parameters to refine.

Bob,
Ask and it shall appear! I'm very impressed by your speedy creation of the
new GSAS windows version. I've not found any of these zero length files
yet, so maybe that's platform specific? No file named expedt has turned up
anywhere on my hard disks. Thinking back I remember there used to be a

Armel, it was you who asked if boron was possible with neutrons, and when
you are told that it is, you say that anyway it is borin' (excuse the pun :-)

We still wait for a deeper understanding of the phenomena,
since 1986, right ? And this, after thousands of characterizations.
You really think that MgB2 wi

Was this meant to be serious? Checking for any subtle structural changes
around Tc would be (has been?) a worthwhile investigation. Something easily

Well, let me predict the future of the coming paper :
high citation level guaranteed, even if there is nothing
more than a refinement of the known structure.
I would call Science : a new theory explaining, and
allowing to predict that a defined compoun
