Abstract
Differential thermal analysis and X-ray powder diffraction were used to stu dy phase diagrams for mixtures of NaF with La, Ce, Pr, Nd, and Sm trifluori des. Incongruently melting intermediate phases with the gagarinite structur e and nonstoichiometric fluorite phases Na0.5-xR0.5+xF2+2x for R = Pr, Nd, or Sm, which are stable within narrow temperature ranges, were proven to ex ist. Solid solutions R1-yNayF3-2y with the tysonite structure, based on RF3 , were discovered.
