This work uses Raman and x-ray phase analysis methods to investigate compounds of the type 2Ln/sub 2/O/sub 3/ /times/ 9TiO/sub 2/ (where Ln = Ce, La, Nd, Pr, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tm, and Yb). The compounds were synthesized by melting in an optical beam on a water-cooled substrate (quench rate approx. 10/sup 2/ deg/sec) and by rapid quenching of a melt cupel by slamming with water-cooled blocks quench rate approx. 10/sup 5/ - 10/sup 6/ deg/sec. The x-ray diffraction study was done on a DRON-2 diffractometer. The Raman light spectra were recorded with a DFS-24 double monochromator employing argon laser excitation.
