27. Caution: Such reactions lead to high pressure in the niobium ampules and may result in a leak of cesium into the quartz ampule. The latter should be made sufficiently long, and one of its ends should be left protruding outside the furnace for condensation should a cesium leak occur.

29. The deviations from full occupancy for the cationic positions (with the framework positions kept fully occupied) were less than 1σ for both cesium and sodium in both compounds. The occupancies of the framework positions also deviated negligibly from full (with the cationic sites kept fully occupied), with maximums of 1σ for silicon and 2.5σ for germanium.

The temperature dependence in both cases is very close to linear with slopes (temperature coefficients) of 0.072 and 0.028 mΩ·cm/°C, respectively.
