Abstract

A series of rare-earth phosphates, arsenates, vanadates, tantalates and niobates have been reacted at pressures up to 80,000 atm. and temperatures up to 600°C. The structures of the high-pressure phases “quenched” to ambient conditions have been evaluated by x-ray powder diffractometry.

The majority of the arsenates (Sm–Lu) and vanadates (Pr–Lu) undergo a reconstructive transformation from the xenotime- to the scheelite-type structure. The transformation from the monazite- to the scheelite-type structure was observed in PrAsO4 and NdAsO4. The xenotime ⇌ monazite transition was not observed in any phase. Equilibrium p-t curves have been determined for several of these transitions and densities of the high- and low-pressure forms compared.
