The ionic conductivity of Sr{sub 0.667}R{sub 0.333}F{sub 2.333} alloys (rational Sr{sub 2}RF{sub 7} compositions) in SrF{sub 2}–RF{sub 3} systems (R = Tb or Tm), prepared by spontaneous crystallization, has been investigated for the “as-grown” state and after annealing in CF{sub 4} at 900 ± 20°C for 96 h. As-grown samples of both compositions, prepared by fast (200°C/min) melt crystallization, exhibit partial (nonequilibrium) ordering, which increases from Tb to Tm. Annealing of Sr{sub 0.667}R{sub 0.333}F{sub 2.333} alloys yields strong ordering (equilibrium for the annealing temperatures) of the fluorite structure (CaF{sub 2} type, sp. gr. Fm3̅m, Z = 4) at the formation of t-Sr{sub 2}RF{sub 7} tetragonal compound (sp. gr. I4/m, Z = 30). It is established that ordering of the alloy fluorite structure reduces the fluorine-ion conductivity. After the annealing, the conductivity of Sr{sub 0.667}R{sub 0.333}F{sub 2.333} alloys with the initial (nonequilibrium) ordering stage of t-Sr{sub 2}RF{sub 7} phases with almost complete (equilibrium) ordering decreases by a factor of 3–4.5.
