摘要
Two polymorphs of Holmium molybdate, known as beta'-phase and gamma-phase, were prepared by solid state reaction with different thermal treatments. These polycrystalline samples have been studied for the first time by X-ray thermodiffractometry from room temperature up to 1300 K. We found that the initial beta'-phase undergoes a transition to a-beta-phase and then to a gamma-phase. The gamma (hydrated)-phase, turns to the gamma (dehydrated)-phase and then to the beta-phase. Each sequence involves a reversible and an irreversible phase transition for Ho-2(MoO4)(3). Both polymorphs have remarkable physical properties like nonlinear optics, ferroelectricity and negative thermal expansion. We have calculated the linear expansion coefficients of both phases. We have obtained a positive coefficient for the beta'-phase and a negative one for the gamma-phase. Moreover, we have made a comparison of the obtained coefficients with previous results for other rare earth molybdates.
