Аннотация:Polycrystalline phases of variable composition KxSr12 – 2xR4 + x(PO4)12 (R = Nd, Eu, and Gd;0 ≤ x ≤ 4) with the structure of the mineral eulytite (space group I 3d) have been synthesized by evaporationof the salt solution followed by heat treatment. Their structures have been studied by X-ray powder diffractionand IR spectroscopy, and electron probe studies have been carried out. The structure of KSr10Eu5(PO4)12 hasbeen refined; it has been found that the neutral framework is formed by edge-linked metal-oxygen octahedra(K,Sr,Eu)O6 with PO4 tetrahedra located between them and attached to the octahedra by oxygen vertices. Attemperature change, phosphates expand uniformly in all directions: αа = αb = αc = (9−12) × 10−6 K−1 withoutundergoing polymorphic transitions.
