Solid state reactions in the Fe2O3-Y2O3-CaCO3-ZrO2 mixtures with different Y-Fe ratios (0 < Fe2O3 < 4.75; 3.25 Y2O3; 1.0 CaCO3; 1.0 ZrO2 molar ratio) sintered at 700-1400°C were investigated by x-ray diffraction and DTG(M) methods. The DTG(M) method proved to be very effective in detecting very small amounts of magnetic constituents in the sample. The most interesting features of the reactions are the following:– At iron contents higher than 2.75 molar ratio in the temperature region 1200-1400°C Ca and Zr containing garnets are formed.– In mixtures with a Fe2O3 content less than 2.75 molar ratio the formation of orthoferrite is preferred.– A new Y2O3-type phase (Y2O'3) is the dominant component in systems with a low iron content.
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.
