Abstract

In complex oxides of REE (Ln4M3O12 (Ln = Tm, Lu; M = Zr, Hf), Ln2TiO5 (Ln = Er-Yb)) and Ho2TiO5, the following phase transitions of the order-disorder type are studied for different cooling rates: rhombohedral δ-phase-defective fluorite in Ln4M3O12 (Ln = Tm, Lu; M = Zr, Hf), pyrochlor-like phasedefective fluoride in Ln2TiO5 (Ln = Er-Yb), and hexagonal β-phase-pyrochlor in Ho2TiO5. The presence of nanostructuring phenomena typical of fluorite-like polymorphous modifications of complex oxides in the Ln2O3-MO2 (Ln = Ho-Lu; M = Ti, Zr, Hf) systems is confirmed. The conductivity of polymorphous modifications of Ln4Zr3O12 (Ln = Tm, Lu;) and Ln2TiO5 (Ln = Ho-Yb) with different thermal prehistory is studied. The comparative studies of the oxygen-ionic conductivity of fluorite- and pyrochlor-like Ln2TiO5 (Ln = Ho-Yb), pyrochlor Ho2TiO5, and β-Ho2TiO5 and also of the conductivity of fluorite-like compounds and δ-Ln4Zr3O12 (Ln = Tm, Lu) are carried out. The oxygen-ionic conductivity of complex oxides in the Ln2O3-MO2 (Ln = Er-Lu; M = Ti, Zr, Hf) system is shown to decrease in the following series: defective pyrochlor-defective fluorite-rhombohedral δ-phase ∼ hexagonal β-phase.
