Popis: The order structure of CeD2.29 at room temperature has been determined by profile analysis of powder neutron diffraction data. A non-stoichiometric tetragonal superstructure is adopted; space group I41md, lattice parameters a=5.538(1), c=11.046(2)AA. The ideal composition of the superstructure is CeD2.5 but the fluorite phase is not ordered at this composition because of a high level of intrinsic disorder. It is presumed that the superstructure exists over a range of composition up to approximately CeD2.4 and identical order structures have been determined in this range for LaD2.30 and PrD2.37.
