(6) 干部们做了大量的思想工作来安定人心。

2. 稳定 is similar to 安定. In the above examples, 1-4 can be replaced with 稳定, but 安定 stresses the inner condition, while 稳定 stresses the outward expression. Besides, 稳定 (adj.) also means the stability of water level, value, price, illness, curative effect, etc.:

安定 cannot be used in such ways.

1.“安定”(形)表示情绪、生活、社会、秩序等正常、平静。
“安定”(动)表示使安定,可带宾语。
2.“稳定”(动)也可以表示情绪、生活、社会、秩序等正常平静,与“安定”相似,以上“安定”的例句都可以和“稳定”互换。不同的是,“安定”侧重于内心的,内部的,而“稳定”更倾向于外部表现。另外,“稳定”(形)还表示水位、价值、物价、病情、疗效等的平衡。
“安定”则没有这些用法。
“稳定”(动)表示使稳定,可带宾语。
