The system Cu-F-O was assessed with CALPHAD technique using computerized optimization procedure (PARROT). Two solid phases CuFe 2 O 4 and Fe 3 O 4 forming solid solution at high temperatures were modeled with compound energy formalism. Presence of Cu 1+ on tetrahedral sites in the samples with compositions close to CuFe 5 O 8 reported in the literature was taken into account. The second ternary compound, CuFeO 2 , was modeled as a stoichiometric phase. For the liquid phase, an ionic two-sublattice model was used. In total 17 adjustable parameters were optimized (9 for the spinel phase, 2 for the delafossite and 6 for the liquid phase) to describe the experimental data. The consistent dataset, which gives a description of the properties from 923 to 1273 K, was obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
