Abstract
The phase relation in CeO 2–Gd 2O 3 system has been established under slow cooled conditions from 1400 °C. Two phase regions, namely F-type cubic and C-type cubic, were observed in this system. A striking observation of this investigation is the stabilization of C-type gadolinia after Ce 4+ substitution, which is attributed to decrease in average cationic size on Ce 4+ substitution at Gd 3+ site. The lattice thermal expansion behaviour of C-type gadolinia samples was investigated by High temperature-XRD. The lattice thermal expansion coefficient was found to gradually increase on increasing the Ce 4+ content, within the C-type homogeneity range, in Ce 1− x Gd x O 2− x/2 series.
