Abstract
The crystal structure, infrared, Raman, excitation- and emission-mode photoluminescence spectra as well as thermal behavior of hydrogen- and REE-bearing natural arctite have been studied. The trigonal unit cell parameters are: a = 7.0773(1), c = 41.2197(6) Å, V = 1788.01(4) Å3; sp. gr. R\(\:\stackrel{-}{3}\)m. The crystal structure was solved and refined to the final R = 2.02% based on 848 I > 3σ(I). Taking into account the IR spectroscopy data, the charge-balanced empirical formula calculated for 6 phosphorus atoms is (Z = 3): (H+,H3O+)0.88(Ca6.62Na4.40Ba1.00Ce0.07La0.03)Σ12.12(PO4)5.82(HPO4)0.18F2.85(OH)0.15. The crystal structure of arctite is characterized by the presence of anion-centered [F3M12] trimers (M = Na, Ca) composed of face-shared anion-centered FM6 octahedra. The simultaneous presence of basic (Ca2+···OH–) and acid (HPO42–, H3O+, H+) species is a specific feature of the studied H-bearing sample. Similar synthetic materials may be of practical interest as luminophores. Luminescent properties of the studied sample are related to the admixed Ce3+ and Sm3+ ions.

期刊介绍:
Physics and Chemistry of Minerals is an international journal devoted to publishing articles and short communications of physical or chemical studies on minerals or solids related to minerals. The aim of the journal is to support competent interdisciplinary work in mineralogy and physics or chemistry. Particular emphasis is placed on applications of modern techniques or new theories and models to interpret atomic structures and physical or chemical properties of minerals. Some subjects of interest are:
-Relationships between atomic structure and crystalline state (structures of various states, crystal energies, crystal growth, thermodynamic studies, phase transformations, solid solution, exsolution phenomena, etc.)
-General solid state spectroscopy (ultraviolet, visible, infrared, Raman, ESCA, luminescence, X-ray, electron paramagnetic resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance, gamma ray resonance, etc.)
-Experimental and theoretical analysis of chemical bonding in minerals (application of crystal field, molecular orbital, band theories, etc.)
-Physical properties (magnetic, mechanical, electric, optical, thermodynamic, etc.)
-Relations between thermal expansion, compressibility, elastic constants, and fundamental properties of atomic structure, particularly as applied to geophysical problems
-Electron microscopy in support of physical and chemical studies
-Computational methods in the study of the structure and properties of minerals
-Mineral surfaces (experimental methods, structure and properties)
