The crystal structure of Nd1.2FeO3 oxide material synthesized by varying calcination temperatures was determined using the X-ray diffraction method. Further analysis by Rietveld refinement using software Rietica showed that all of the samples have an orthorhombic phase structure. The lattice constants of each a sample with variation of calcination temperature is a = 5.581059 ± 0.000736 Å, b = 7.758627 ± 0.000947 Å, c = 5.448341 ± 0.000665 Å; a = 5.580203 ± 0.000695 Å, b = 7.756789 ± 0.000908 Å, c = 5.447646 ± 0.000626 Å; and a = 5.580402 ± 0.000704 Å, b = 7.758957 ± 0.000919 Å, c = 5.449350 ± 0.000634 Å, respectively. The results of lattice constant were associated with the value of Goodness of Fit (GoF) is 0.9101%, 0.8726%, and 0.9303%, respectively. That has a strong indication of a qualified matching between the NdFeO3 model numbers of COD 2003124 with the current experimental results. The value of FWHM and the crystal size of Nd1.2FeO3 samples are 0.22º and 372 nm. The results showed that the variation of calcination temperature has not a significant change in the crystal size and homogeneity of the atomic crystal structure. These results are confirmed by simulation of the atomic structure using the Diamond software, the dominant peak of hkl (121). © 2020, Fundatia Serban Solacolu. All rights reserved.
