We report a comparative study of Ln 2 M 2 O 7 (Ln = Gd, Tb, Dy; M = Ti, Zr) synthesized by combination of the sol-gel and coprecipitation methods followed by calcination at elevated temperatures. The long-range average crystal as well as short-range local structure in the samples were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAFS) and Raman spectroscopy. It has been found that Ln-Ti precursors crystallize directly to pyrochlore phase, whereas crystallization of Ln-Zr precursors to pyrochlore phase goes through intermediate fluorite phase. We have shown that X-ray absorption data make possible to detect the crystallization and phase transition features in Ln 2 M 2 O 7 such as splitting of Ln-O coordination shells and changes of the symmetry in local environment. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd
