The aim of this study was to synthesize mixed cesium vanadatoarsenate and to determine its x-ray and luminescent characteristics. Cesium metavanadate and metaarsenate were prepared from chemically pure CsNO/sub 3/ and V/sub 2/O/sub 5/ and arsenic pentoxide. The compound Cs/sub 3/(AsO/sub 3/)(VO/sub 3/)/sub 2/ was obtained by sintering stoichiometric quantities of Cs/sub 3/AsO/sub 4/ and V/sub 2/O/sub 5/ and its thermal and optical properties were studied. Upon being subjected to photoexcitation Cs/sub 3/(AsO/sub 3/)(VO/sub 3/)/sub 2/ displays strong greenish-yellow luminescence with a brightness that is 66% of that of CsVO/sub 3/ luminescence.
