Popis: In the R 2 O 3 :3Ga 2 O 3 :4B 2 O 3 systems (R=La, Nd, Sm, Gd, Ho, Y, Er and Yb), X-ray diffraction and infrared absorption spectroscopy were used to study the solid-state reactions in the 575–1050°C temperature range. In some samples (R=Sm, Gd, Ho, Er and Y) huntite (RGa 3 (BO 3 ) 4 ) phases accompanied by RBO 3 and GaBO 3 intermediate phases were identified. However, in the systems of R 2 O 3 :3Ga 2 O 3 :4B 2 O 3 for R=La 3+ , Nd 3+ and Yb 3+ , instead of the expected huntite phases, La-, Nd-metaborate or YbGa(BO 3 ) 2 dolomite type phases were formed. Detailed XRD of the rare-earth gallium borates are presented for the first time. Based on the above results, some chemical reactions were assumed for the processes.
