N2 - New experimental results on pyrochlore and defect fluorite phases in HfO2-La2O3 and HfO2-Gd 2O3 systems are summarized. Fluorite Hf 0.5Gd0.5O1.75 was formed by containerless melting and quenching. Melts with 25-65 mol% La2O3 did not produce any fluorite-type phases, but pyrochlores with cell parameters 10.74 to 10.86 Å. The fluorite phase of Hf0.5La0.5O 1.75 can be formed on crystallization of an amorphous precursor from aqueous precipitation. Both La- and Gd- fluorite phases transform to ordered pyrochlore on annealing at 1450°C. The enthalpies of formation from oxides are -107 ±5 kJ/mol for Hf2La2O7 and -49 ±5 kJ/mol for Hf2Gd2O7 as measured by high-temperature solution calorimetry. Further experiments are needed to elucidate the nature of stabilization of fluorite phase in thin films and powders. Occurrence of disordered phases in thin films, nanoparticles and radiation damaged materials is discussed.
