dc.description.abstractThe mean-square displacement amplitudes (MSDA) of the tetrahedral cations Si and Al are compared to the MSDA of their coordinated O atoms in framework silica polymorphs and aluminosilicate structures. Criteria are established which indicate order, structural disorder or substitutional disorder in a framework crystal.en
