The content of all matrix elements, including oxygen, was determined by X-ray spectral microanalysis in series of single crystals of sodium-gadolinium molybdates (NGM) grown from melt by Czochralski technique. All grown NGM crystals, including those grown from stoichiometric charge, are non-stoichiometric and contain a molybdenum deficiency of about 3% in average. The NGM congruently melting composition has been determined. For crystals grown from melt of equimolar (stoichiometric) composition, the content of cationic vacancies in the (Gd + Na) sublattice is close to zero, while the composition of crystal differs from the initial melt. As the Gd excess increases, the content of cationic vacancies in the (Gd + Na) sublattice increases up to 10%. It has been found that cation-deficient NGM crystals are also ahion-deficient. The concentration of oxygen vacancies varies from 0.5% to 5% of the amount of anion sites. Possible mechanisms responsible for the formation of cationic and anionic vacancies in NGM crystals are discussed.
