Abstract
Single crystals of 1—x Ho2O3 : xCaO (x = 0.07), CaHoO2.5 (A) and Ca0.5Ho1.5O2.75 (B) were prepared by high temperature reaction and investigated with X-ray single crystal data. It can be shown that small amounts of CaO stabilize the monoclinic B-Typ of rare earth oxides. Phase (A) and (B) cannot be seen as a stabilized B-type crystal because they have an new crystal structure with space group C2 2h–P 21/m, a = 656.6, b = 356.7, c = 529.4 pm, β = 92.3°; a = 650.2, b = 352.4, c = 584.5, β = 92.3°.
