Abstract

The infrared spectra and powder X-ray diffraction patterns of polycrystalline YPO4-YCrO4 samples are studied from the point of view of their crystal symmetry. Mixed crystals of the D4h19 symmetry are formed over the region of 0-30 mol.% YPO4 in YCrO4. The TdD2dD2 or C2v(GS eff) correlation is appropriate for both PO43- and CrO43- anions.
