Synthesis, Structure Refinement and Conductivity of Ln2-xCdxMoO6-x/2

Substitution rare-earth elements for cadmium in the monoclinic compounds Ln2MoO6 (Ln – Gd, Ho) leads to the formation of fluorite-related cubic structure. Series Ln2xCdxMoO6x/2 was investigated by XRD (with structure refinement), scanning electron microscopy, FTIR-spectroscopy and conductivity measurements.
