✦ Synopsis
Raman and infrared spectroscopic studies of Ce 1؊x M x VO 4؊0.5x (M ؍ Pb, Sr, and Ca) and Ce 1؊x Bi x VO 4 solid solutions have been performed. When aliovalent or isovalent cations with similar/ di4erent ionic radii were substituted for Ce in CeVO 4 to form the substitutional solid solutions, it was found that the valence and/or ionic radii of the substitutes dominated the solid solubility limit, producing di4erent lattice parameter changes/distinctive spectral features with x in Ce 1؊x M x VO 4؊0.5x and Ce 1؊x Bi x VO 4 . Particularly, the substitution of aliovalent cations, which causes a change in oxygen stoichiometry to preserve the charge neutrality, led to the emergence of several broad bands in the Raman spectra of Ce 1؊x M x VO 4؊0.5x whereas they were absent in Ce 1؊x Bi x VO 4 . The x-dependence of frequency, linewidth, and intensity of the Raman/infrared modes is presented and discussed in order to draw a spectroscopic distinction between Ce 1؊x M x VO 4؊0.5x and Ce 1؊x Bi x VO 4 solid solutions.
