AbstractAbstract
[en] Yttrium-doped uranium brannerite (U1-xYxTi2O6) and thorutite (Th1-xYxTi2O6-δ) phases were synthesized in air at 1400 deg. C. Powder X-ray diffraction revealed that these phases crystallized to form monoclinic (C2/m) structures. Crystal structures of U0.54Y0.46Ti2O6 (1) (a=9.8008(2); b=3.7276(1); c=6.8745(1); β=118.38(1); V=220.97(1); Z=2; RP=7.3%; RB=4.6%) and Th0.91Y0.09Ti2O6-δ (2) (a=9.8002(7); b=3.7510(3); c=6.9990(5); β=118.37(4); V=226.40(3); Z=2; RP=4.5%; RB=2.9%) were refined from powder neutron diffraction data. These two phases were isostructural, revealing planes of corner and edge-sharing TiO6 octahedra separated by irregular eight-fold coordinate U/Y or Th/Y atoms. The oxygen sites within the structure of 1 were found to be fully occupied, confirming that the doping of lower valence Y atoms occurs in conjunction with the oxidation of U(IV) to U(V). Y doping of the thorutite phase 2 does not lead to oxidation but rather the formation of oxygen vacancies within the structure
