Abstract

The BaF2-BiF3 system was studied by the method of coprecipitation from aqueous solutions. The region of precipitation of single-phase nonoxygen powders was revealed (the atomic fraction of Bi in the initial solution was 0.35–0.43). The composition of the cubic fluorite-type phase is BaBiF5 according to an energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis. Samples prepared from solutions with high Bi concentrations contain oxygen. This indicates that the hydrolysis temperature of BiF3 decreases when compared with that of the bulk samples and that this process takes place at room temperature. The coherent intergrowth of nanoparticles with the formation of single crystals with nonfaceted complex forms was shown by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy.
