Abstract
Abstract The Rietveld profile refinement has been applied to X-ray powder diffraction data on Naß''-gallate, a solid electrolyte isostructural with Naß''-alumina and characterized by different types of lattice defect. Several structural models have been refined and discussed in order to understand if a statistical comparison of the structure discrepancy factors can be used as a reliable criterion to retain or reject structural changes from one model to the other. It is shown that, due to the correlation between structural parameters and to the poor sensitivity of the structure discrepancy factors to chemical composition, some care is necessary to direct correctly the refinement and to obtain a reliable structural model
