The AXO4 monazite-type compounds form an extended family that is described in this
review in terms of field of stability versus composition. All the substitution possibilities on the …

Crystalline ceramics are intensively investigated as effective materials in various nuclear
energy applications, such as inert matrix and accident tolerant fuels and nuclear waste …

ABSTRACT Monazite (Ln3+PO4) and related solid solutions are a well-known source of rare
earth elements on earth. They may also accommodate large amounts of thorium and …

In this article a brief review of recent progress on preparation and crystal chemistry of rare-
earth phosphates have been presented. The article begins with a brief note on the rare …

This paper focuses on major phosphate-based ceramic materials relevant for the
immobilisation of Pu, minor actinides, fission and activation products. Key points addressed …

Rhabdophane is an important permeable reactive barrier to enrich radionuclides from
groundwater and has been envisaged to host radionuclides in the backend of the nuclear …

On the basis of optimized grinding/heating cycles developed for several phosphate-based
ceramics, the preparation of brabantite and then monazite/brabantite solid solutions loaded …

In this work we report the metastability and the energetics of the phase transitions of three
different polymorphs of BiPO4, namely trigonal (Phase-I, space group P3121), monoclinic …

High-entropy (HE) wasteforms has attracted extensive attention because of its low solubility
and the ability to immobilize a variety of nuclides. The atomic size difference (δ) is a …

Rare earth phosphates comprise a large family of compounds proposed as possible nuclear
waste disposal forms. We report structural and thermodynamic properties of a series of rare …
