Abstract Single crystal synthesis, X-ray powder diffraction data, and electron microprobe data are given for some Na rare earth silicates of the types NaMSiO4, Na3MSi2O7, Na3MSi3O9, and Na5MSi4O12. NaYSiO4 is orthorhombic with SG Pbn21, a=5.132, b=11.156, anc c=6.405 Å. NaGdSiO4 is tetragonal with SG I4 or I $$\bar 4$$ with a=11.743 and c=5.444 Å. A second form of NaGdSiO4 is orthorhombic with SG P21 nb or Pmmb, a=9.179, b=27.29, and c=5.472 Å. Na3YSi2O7 is hexagonal with a=9.416 and c=13.776 Å. Na3YSi3O9 is orthorhombic with a=15.215, b=15.126, and c=15.036 Å. Na ion conductivities of Na3YSi2O7 and Na3YSi3O9 at 300° C of 5×10−6 (Θ-cm)−1 and 6×10−6 (Θ-cm)−1, respectively, are substantially less than that for Na6YSi4O12, 1×10−1 (Θ-cm)−1.
