The structural evolution of FePO4 studied from a temperature range of 294K to 1073K by neutron powder diffraction. It is unique from α-quartz isotopes. It is different because it’s a cation is a transition metal. The structure dimensions and atomic coordinates in the α phase tend to increase by great amounts as the high-temperature β-phase rises and exhibit first order transition at 980K. The atomic structure dimensions of the α-phase FePO4 increased in a non-uniform pattern with respect to temperature. A thermal expansion coefficient α (K-1)= 2.924 x 10-5 + 2.920 x 10-10 ( T-300)2 is used to get its volume results.

The structural evolution of this quartz type iron phosphate, FePO4 was observed using neutron powder diffraction from temperature varying from 294K-1073K. It also have a α-β phase transition at high temperature (980K).The refined structural parameters of the low temperature α phase tend towards the obtained values for high temperature β quartz type FePO4. The irregularities increase with the increasing temperature due to the excited low energy, high amplitude vibration in αquartz and resulted by the non-physical behaviours. The effect of this disorder is accommodated total neutron scattering measurement. In a tetrahedral distortion there is a change in both the angle and the length of the bonds which are present during the tetrahedral tilting. Only a change in the angle is resulted but no significance change in bon length. The increase in bridging angles between Fe—O—P and the tetrahedral angles greatly decrease as the α-β transition approach at high temperature at 980K. The tetrahedral tilt angle δ and the intertetrahedral bridging angle θ can be related to the degree of distortion with respect to β-quartz structure type. The α-β transition is not observed for most material under the condition that δ value is greater than 22 degrees and θ value less than 136 degrees. However, the structural parameters of FePO4
