The solid solution crystals, La1-xNdxGaO3 and La1-xPrxGaO3 have been studie
d by differential scanning calorimetry method; the crystals exhibit the fir
st order phase transition, the temperature of the transition linearly incre
ases with the concentration of Pr or Nd. The structure of the crystals has
been determined by X-ray diffraction. The correlation between the phase tra
nsition temperature and crystalline structure at the temperature of the pha
se transition in both solid solution families is discussed.
