Mixed Ag3[AsO4, VO4] crystals were prepared over the whole concentration range. In the 0-40% mol. Vanadate concentration range the mixed crystals are isostructural with Ag3AsO4 (T4d, Z = 2). Site- and factor group analyses were carried out for this space group and structure. Above 60 mol% vanadate, the mixed crystals are tetragonal with Ag3VO4 structure. It follows from the behaviour of the ν4AsO3-4 vibration that, in cubic mixed crystals with 40 mol% Ag3VO4, the site-symmetry T is reduced to effective site-symmetry C3 by the effect of lattice vibrations of the T(F) and R(F) types.

The system Ag3PO4-Ag3AsO4 has been studied by X-ray analysis of the powder samples and infrared absorption spectra. Formation of cubic mixed crystals of the substitution type has been found within the whole concentration range. For the tetrahedral anions at the site T(2) lowering of the site-symmetry to the effective site-symmetry C3 has been found on the basis of the site-and factor-group analyses of the space group Td4.

Ag3[PO4, VO4] mixed crystals were prepared in the whole concentration region. For 0-40 mol % vanadate, the mixed crystals are isostructural with the low-temperature modification of Ag3PO4 (Td4, Z = 2); the site group and factor group analysis was performed for this space group. Mixed crystals containing 60% vanadate and more are tetragonal with the structure of Ag3VO4. From the analysis of the infrared spectra it follows that in the cubic mixed crystal with 40 mol % Ag3VO4, the site symmetry T is additionally lowered to the effective site symmetry C3 due to the effect of the lattice vibrations of the types T(F) and R(F).

Infrared spectra of mixed crystals Sc(PO4, VO4) and Y(PO4, VO4) have been studied from the point of view of group analysis. These systems form substitution mixed crystals in tetragonal space group D194h. The anions having proper symmetry Td or D2d in site symmetry D2d exhibit in spectra lowering of the site symmetry to effective C2 as a result of lattice vibrations of the type T(B2).

A Green's function formulation is developed to compute the phonon resonances of an F− interstitial perturbed by the presence of a trivalent cation which occupies one of the second neighbour sites of the interstitial in BaF2, the interstitial site symmetry being thereby reduced from Oh to C4v. Expressions for the absorption coefficient are obtained for the case of an isolated interstitial and for that of the interstitial with an adjacent trivalent cation. These expressions are evaluated for both the isolated interstitial and for Fi− associated with Y3+, Gd3+, or La3+. There is reasonable agreement between theory and the experimentally observed infrared absorption spectra measured by Morlot, Hadni, Villermain-Lecollier, and Strimer.
