Abstract
Solid solutions between several lanthanide-containing dititanate and dizirconate compounds have been synthesized and identified using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Complete solubility was found in the pyrochlore-pyrochlore-type systems Er2Ti2O7-Nd2Zr2O 7 and Nd1.2Er0.8Ti2O7-Nd 2Zr2O7. Some solubility of Nd2Ti2O7, a monoclinic dititanate, in defect fluorite Er2Zr2O7 was observed, and it was determined that there is some solubility of Nd2Ti2O7 in pyrochlore-type Nd2Zr2O7. The systems Nd2Zr2O7-TiO2 and Nd2Ti2O7-ZrO2 also were investigated to help define a region of pyrochlore solid solution formation in the system NdO1.5-TiO2-ZrO2. Additionally, attempts were made to synthesize pyrochlore-type solid solutions between Ce2Ti2O7 and Ce2Zr2O7 and to substitute titanium with zirconium in the perovskite-type phases SrNd2Ti4O12 and Sr2Ce2Ti5O16.
