Zusammenfassung:The transformations caused by irradiation and thermal treatments of crystalline cerium(IV) phosphate CeP-E [Ce(NH 4PO 4) 0.44(HPO 4) 1.56], which has a high ion exchange capacity, have been studied by electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray powder diffraction. Electron bombardment in the electron microscope transformed CeP-E into either hexagonal CePO 4 or a vitreous glass (dependent on sample thickness), while irradiation of CeP-E with X-rays produced an amorphous material. All of these materials were transformed into highly stable crystalline monoclinic CePO 4 (monazite) by thermal treatments.
