Popis: The density of single crystals of nonstoichiometric phases Ba1 − xLaxF2 + x (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) and Sr0.8La0.2 − xLuxF2.2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2) with the fluorite (CaF2) structure type and R1 − ySryF3 − y (R = Pr, Nd; 0 ≤ y ≤ 0.15) with the tysonite (LaF3) structure type has been measured. Single crystals were grown from a melt by the Bridgman method. The measured concentration dependences of single crystal density are linear. The interstitial and vacancy models of defect formation in the fluorite and tysonite phases, respectively, are confirmed. To implement the composition control of single crystals of superionic conductors M1 − xRxF2 + x and R1 − yMyF3 − y in practice, calibration graphs of X-ray density in the MF2-RF3 systems (M = Ca, Sr, Ba, Cd, Pb; R = La-Lu, Y) are plotted.
