Fluorite-type HfO[sub 2] and ZrO[sub 2] solid solutions were prepared by doping with 8 to 14 mol% of Ho[sub 2]O[sub 3] and Y[sub 2]O[sub 3], and their lattice parameters were determined. In both HfO[sub 2] and ZrO[sub 2] systems, the lattice parameters of the solid solutions containing Ho[sub 2]O[sub 3] were consistently greater than those containing the same amounts of Y[sub 2]O[sub 3]. This indicated that the ionic radium of Ho[sup 3+] was larger than that of Y[sup 3+] in the fluorite structure solid solutions. The effective ionic radius of Y[sup 3+] in eightfold coordination was estimated to be 0.1011 nm by suing the measured lattice parameters and the empirical equations to predict the lattice parameters of the fluorite-type solid solutions.
