Prezado Nelson,

You can find CIF files for both alumina and crocoite phases at the
Crystallography Open Database (www.crystallography.net) looking for
chemical elements.

An excellent set of educational material on Rietveld refinement using
GSAS+EXPGUI at the APS-11BM site (
http://www.aps.anl.gov/Xray_Science_Division/Powder_Diffraction_Crystallography/)
and additional resources at http://11bm.xray.aps.anl.gov/resources.html.

If you don´t have experience with Rietveld analysis and no-one to ask for
advice it may be a painful path to walk alone but there are many books that
can be of help such as "The Rietveld Method" by RA Young or "Fundamentals
of Powder Diffraction and Structural Characterization of Materials" by
Pescharsky and Zavalij... but attending a Rietveld course (such as ICDD
Clinics for example) may be of help to start.

Finally, but maybe of advanced level, be very careful when extracting
weight percentages for both phases from your refinements, if you don´t have
perfect control or knowledge of particle sizes for both phases, since the
huge difference in absorption coefficients among them may make
microabsorption an issue on your quantification work.

Best of luck
Leo
