“…Biltz and Mueller^^' were the first to study in detail systenns of oxygen connposition greater than UO2, and their data have been copiously quoted throughout the chemical literature. More recent investigations^'*' ^' ^ ' • ^6, 55, 24,59,19,30 )have yielded considerable new information about the system, while comprehensive surveys and reports\3D.7) have appeared in the literature within the last few years. A connplete X-ray diffraction study of unit cell structures and dimensions of all known oxides of uraniiim has been carried out by Rundle, et al^^°) Recent controversy has arisen concerning the existence of the solid monoxide UO.…”
