Abstract
The structures of Ca and were refined from neutron-powder-diffraction data. The data for Ca were taken at 298 K, and the data for were obtained at both 150 and 13 K. The results are essentially in agreement with the structural refinements based on single-crystal x-ray-diffraction data and confirm the positional disorder of the oxygen atoms in the Tl-O planes. The low-temperature refinements for indicate that the symmetry remains tetragonal down to 13 K and that there is no significant structural change or discontinuity in the cell parameters through the superconducting critical temperature near 125 K.
