Abstract

Ba(3−x)Srx(PO4)2 orthophosphates (0≤x≤3) have been prepared by solid state reaction. The final temperature was 1000°C. The X-ray diffraction analyses show the existence of a continuous solid solution. Ba(3−x)Srx(PO4)2 orthophosphates (0≤x≤3) crystallize in the hexagonal system with the space group R3m. Their structure is based on a three-dimensional framework constructed of infinite layers of Ba1/Sr1O12 linked and parallel to infinite layers of Ba2/Sr2O10 polyhedra and PO4 tetrahedra.
