Abstract

The formation of (Ln3+)2(M4+)2O7 (Ln = Gd, Dy; M = Zr, Hf) nanocrystallites obtained by annealing mixed hydroxides LnM(OH)7 · nH2O (precursors) synthesized by coprecipitation has been studied by synchronous thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction (normal and anomalous diffraction of synchrotron radiation), and EXAFS. In the systems under consideration, heat treatment of the X-ray amorphous precursors leads to their dehydration, and at 600–700°C, nanocrystallites with an fcc structure of disordered fluorite start forming. A further increase in temperature is accompanied by crystallite growth (CDD) and considerable change in the local structure of the heat-treated compounds. The crystallization enthalpies and activation energies have been determined.
