Abstract

The growth of solid solutions of Ca(WO4) x (MoO4)1−x in the rangeX=0.072 to 0.86 has been successfully accomplished for the first time, employing a flux technique. The fact that proper mixing occurs is established by observing the variation in unit cell parameters and density of the crystals. The electrical conductivity of the pelletized samples is interpreted in terms of Schottky and Frenkel defect concentrations. The role of oxygen ion vacancies is stressed for the intrinsic region of conductivity.
