Studies on the solid solutions of Ln/sub 1-x/Sr/sub x/VO/sub 3-0. 1x/

Journal Article · · Mater. Res. Bull.; (United States)
Solid solutions (Ln/sub 1-x/Sr/sub x/VO/sub 3-0.1x/; Ln:La, Nd, Eu, Gd, Er, or Yb) composed with rare-earth vanadites (LnVO/sub 3/) and strontium vanadite (SrVO/sub 2/./sub 9/) and resulted from the reaction of Ln/sub 2/O/sub 3/, V/sub 2/O/sub 3/ and SrO were studied. If the value of x in Ln/sub 1-x/Sr/sub x/VO/sub 3-0.1x/ was lower than a certain value, crystals isostructural with LnVO/sub 3/ (Ln:La, tetragonal cell; Ln:Nd, Eu or Gd, orthorhombic cell) were obtained; if the value of x was higher than that, the products belonging to a cubic system isomorphous with SrVO/sub 2/./sub 9/ were formed in the case of La, Nd, Eu, or Gd. As the ionic radius of the incorporated rare-earth ion becomes larger, the region of the cubic-phase formation increases in size.
