Abstract
The heat capacity of partially deuterated crystals with a cryolite structure, namely, (NH4)3ScF6 and (NH4)3GaF6, is measured in the temperature range from 80 to 370 K. The p-T phase diagrams of these compounds are investigated at pressures up to p=0.6 GPa. It is revealed that the deuteration does not affect the sequences of phase transitions observed in the proton-containing ammonium cryolites studied earlier. The isotope effect most clearly manifests itself in significant changes in the thermodynamic parameters of the \(I12/m1 - P\bar 1\) low-temperature transformation in scandium cryolite.
