Subjecting the β' modification of the compounds Gd2(Mo04)3, ТЬ2(Мо04)з, Sm2(Mo04)3, and TbGd(Mo04)3 to pressures up to ~ 7 GPa results in an amorphization. The temperature intervals of stability have been studied. The enthalpies of crystallization of the amorphous states of these compounds have been determined. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
