- Ca$_{2}$SiO$_{4}$ exists in a variety of structures (Mumme, 1996; Yamnova, 2011):
- hexagonal $\alpha$–Ca$_{2}$SiO$_{4}$, stable above 1445°C. There is some dispute as to whether this occurs in a
- trigonal, space group $P\overline{3}m1$ #164 structure or a
- disordered hexagonal, space group $P6_{3}/mmc$ #194 structure.
- orthorhombic $\alpha_{H}$'-Ca$_{2}$SiO$_{4}$ (this structure), stable in the range $1160-1425°$C,
- orthorhombic $\alpha_{L}$'-Ca$_{2}$SiO$_{4}$, stable in the range $690-1160°$C,
- monoclinic $\beta$–Ca$_{2}$SiO$_{4}$, stable in the range $500-690°$C and found in nature as the metastable mineral larnite, and
- $\gamma$–Ca$_{2}$SiO$_{4}$, stable below 500°C, in the olivine ($S1_{2}$) structure.
- hexagonal $\alpha$–Ca$_{2}$SiO$_{4}$, stable above 1445°C. There is some dispute as to whether this occurs in a
- We use the neutron scattering data of (Mumme, 1996) taken at 1250°C. Their refinement of the data requires that all of the calcium and oxygen sites are only half filled, i.e., only site of each Ca-Ca and O-O pair in the diagram is filled at any given time.
