Abstract
Vanadium monoxide, VO y has been studied within its homogeneity range using X-ray diffraction and pycnometric density measurements. The density and lattice parameter of VO y have been shown to vary in a complex manner with oxygen content near the stoichiometric composition VO1.0. The experimental data have been used to evaluate the vanadium and oxygen vacancy contents in VO y . We assume that two cubic phases close in lattice parameter coexist near the composition VO1.0 and form a solid solution.
