Calcium is miscible with Sr in the liquid and in all the solid bcc, hep and fee allotropic forms (Fig. 1). Barium exhibits no hep or fee forms, however, so that solid solubility between the close-packed structures of Ca and Sr, and the bcc structure of Ba is restricted in the Ca-Ba and also in the Sr-Ba systems. A continuous series of solid solutions is only achieved in Ca-Ba and Sr-Ba for the high-T bcc modifications. In Ca-Ba, the solid solutions are separated by a narrow heterogeneous field between 32 and 36 mol% Ba in Sr-Ba this occurs between 24 and 30 mol% Ba (Fig. 1). 

At the other extreme, solid solutions are difficult to prepare. To form a solid solution, individual atoms or molecules must mix homogeneously within the solid network. Given that the atoms or molecules in a solid cannot move freely about, such mixing is difficult to achieve. Even if we grind two solids to fine powders and then mix them thoroughly, the resulting mixture will not be a solution, because the mixture will remain heterogeneous at the... 

Now, suppose that we have a solid solution of two (2) elemental solids. Would the point defects be the same, or not An easy way to visualize such point defects is shown in the following diagram, given as 3.1.3. on the next page. It is well to note here that homogeneous lattices usually involve metals or solid solutions of metals (alloys) in contrast to heterogeneous lattices which involve compounds such as ZnS. 

Protons are not the sole species that can be incorporated into the lattices of different host materials. At the beginning of the 1960s, Boris N. Kabanov showed that during cathodic polarization of different metals in alkaline solutions, intercalation of atoms of the corresponding alkali metal is possible. As a result of such an electrochemical intercalation, either homogeneous alloys are formed (solid solutions) or heterogeneous polyphase systems, or even intermetallic compounds, are formed. 

The behavior of carbonates will be used to illustrate heterogeneous processes, with emphasis upon the formation of inorganic surface coatings and solid solutions. This is a vital topic in the study of solid-solution interactions since it is coatings rather than bulk phases which are sensed by liquid solutions. Homogeneous reactions will be studied in terms of the competition of coulombic ion pairs with true complexes for anions. An extended form of the phase rule will be used. 

In other words, the resolution of the solid solution into separate solid phases of cis and trans molecules is a thermally activated process. It is just this process that is responsible for the distinction between homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions. 

Aqueous salt solutions are particularly volatile in a dry gas, and they become supersaturated as evaporation proceeds, for in the absence of solid boundaries heterogeneous nucleation does not occur. Homogeneous nu-cleation of crystals ultimately occurs to complicate the scattering process. Highly supersaturated solutions can be examined using droplet levitation, and studies related to concentrated electrolyte solutions are surveyed later. 

For any heterotype solid solution, or a nonstoichiometric compound, EDX analysis in the AEM on a large number of crystals is required. In a typical laboratory situation 30 to 40 crystals are routinely analyzed for each preparation. This sampling is adequate to establish trends in stoichiometric variations in a heterogeneous material. Fine gradations in compositions of a seemingly phase-pure material by the criterion of bulk diffraction techniques, can also be revealed. For quantitative microanalysis, a ratio method for thin crystals (16) is used, given by the equation ... 

Valsami-Jones et al. (1998) conducted similar studies with a synthetic, microcrystalline hydroxyapatite in either a Pb or Cd buffered solution. Using AFM, hydroxypyromorphite was observed to grow epitaxially on the hydroxyapatite surface in a clear example of heterogeneous nucleation. Cd removal differed, with the likely formation of a Ca-Cd phosphate solid solution.
