The Nd2S3-SnS system has been studied at a temperature of 1100A degrees C. The Nd2S3 solubility in molten SnS at this temperature is determined to be 4.4 mol %. The neodymium is present in the SnS melt in the form of Nd3+ ions. Its diffusion coefficient in molten SnS is estimated at 1.2 x 10(-8) m(2)/s. Nd2S3 dissolution in SnS has a negligible effect on the SnS vapor pressure over saturated liquid solution in comparison with pure molten SnS. Using solvent evaporation, we have grown gamma-Nd9.5Sn1.8S16 crystals and determined their chemical and phase compositions, structure, density and optical band gap.
