Abstract
Single crystals of LiDy(PO
3)
4, NaNd(PO
3)
4, NH
4Dy(PO
3)
4 and AgLa(PO
3)
4 polyphosphates have been grown using the flux method. A mixture of monovalent carbonate (M
2CO
3), rare earth oxide (Ln
2O
3) and phosphoric acid (H
3PO
4 85%) was heated at 285°C during a week. Single crystals were obtained and characterized by X-ray diffraction, infrared and
Raman spectroscopy. Their investigation was carried out by thermal analysis (ATG/ATD). Their electric conductivity was measured
by impedance spectroscopy. The conductivity,
, vary between
.cm
-1 at 300 °C and
.cm
-1 at 500 °C.
The activation energies increase from 0,31 for NH
4Dy(PO
3)
4 to 1,26 eV for NaNd(PO
3)
4. The basic structural units of these phosphates are ribbons (PO
3)
formed by corner-sharing of PO
4 tetrahedra with variable geometry, which are unfavourable to the ionic conduction. The ionic transport was mainly assured
by M
+ ions; moreover, the hydrogen bond established in the structure of NH
4Dy(PO
3)
4 and the proton exchange allow to explain the relatively high conductivity of this phosphate. The results are discussed and
correlated to the structural properties of these phosphates.
