Abstract
Unit cell parameters acal(x) and X-ray densities ρX(x) are calculated in terms of a model that accounts for ionic bonding, additivity of properties, and dimensional factor upon aliovalent substitutions for 45 new nonstoichiometric phases Sm1 − xRxF2 + x, Eu1 − xRxF2 + x and Yb1 − xRxF2 + x (R = La−Lu, Y) based on SmF2, EuF2, and YbF2 fluorite matrices (the fluorite CaF2 type). A comparison of the calculated unit cell parameters acal(x) and the experimental a(x) values available in the literature for these phases shows satisfactory match. Concentration-dependent relationships acal(x) and ρX(x) can be used for monitoring the composition of melt-grown Sm1 − xRxF2 + x, Eu1 − xRxF2 + x, and Yb1 − xRxF2 + x crystals in studies of their defect structures and fundamental properties.
