Suitable standards for Inel PSD calibration

Hi everyone,

I am looking for suitable compounds to be used to calibrate a 90
degree Inel curved PSD (Position Sensitive Detector). The ideal standard
should be stable, easy to prepare or easily available, well crystalline
(gives strong diffraction peaks), with a large enough yet non-fcc unit
cell (~ 10 angstrom) to give many well resolved peaks. In the literature
Na2Ca3Al2F14 is mentioned, but its synthesis seems not that
straightforward and we can use a substitute.

Any recommendations or suggestions here? Thank for any help in advance.
