The phase equilibria in the Ln-Ba-Co-O (Ln=Nd, Sm) systems were systematically studied at 1100 deg. C in air. The homogeneity ranges and crystal structure of the solid solutions: Ln{sub 2-x}Ba{sub x}O{sub 3-{delta}} (0<x{<=}0.1 for Ln=Nd and 0<x{<=}0.3 for Ln=Sm), Nd{sub 3-y}Ba{sub y}Co{sub 2}O{sub 7} (0.70{<=}y{<=}0.80), BaCo{sub 1-z}Sm{sub z}O{sub 3-{delta}} (0.1{<=}z{<=}0.2) were determined by X-ray diffraction of quenched samples. The values of oxygen content (5+{delta}) for slowly cooled LnBaCo{sub 2}O{sub 5+{delta}} (Ln=Nd, Sm) samples were estimated as 5.73 for Ln=Nd, and 5.60 for Ln=Sm. The unit cell parameters were refined using Rietveld full-profile analysis. It was shown that NdBaCo{sub 2}O{sub 5.73} possesses tetragonal structure and SmBaCo{sub 2}O{sub 5.60} - orthorhombic structure. The projections of isothermal-isobaric phase diagrams for the Ln-Ba-Co-O (Ln=Nd, Sm) systems to the compositional triangle of metallic components were presented. - Graphical Abstract: Projections of isobaric isothermal phase diagrams of the Nd-Ba-Co-O system and Sm-Ba-Co-O system. Highlights: > Phase equilibria in the Ln-Ba-Co-O systems (Ln=Nd, Sm). > The homogeneity range for Nd{sub 2-x}Ba{sub x}O{sub 3-{delta}} solid solutions at studied conditions 0<x{<=}0.1. > The homogeneity range for Sm{sub 2-x}Ba{sub x}O{sub 3-{delta}} solid solutions at studied conditions 0<x{<=}0.3. > Nd{sub 3-y}Ba{sub y}Co{sub 2}O{sub 7} solid solutions within the range 0.7{<=}y{<=}0.8. > BaCo{sub 1-z}Sm{sub z}O{sub 3-{delta}} solid solutions within the range 0.1{<=}z{<=}0.2.
