Description
Rare earths ions owing to the similarity in size with thorium ions have considerable solid solubility in ThO2 to form FCC fluorite-type solid solution. In the present study a series of solid solutions containing EuO1.5 in ThO2 were prepared by co-precipitation method. These solid solutions were characterized for their composition by standard wet-chemical analysis. Their bulk and theoretical densities were determined by immersion and X-ray techniques respectively. The extent of solubility of EuO1.5 in ThO2 matrix was determined using powder X-ray diffraction at 1473 K. The terminal solubility of EuO1.5 was found to be in the range 52.3 to 52.8 mol %. (author)
