“…The AIN-AI20 3 system has been studied extensively in the last twenty years (Adams, AuCoin & Wolf, 1962;Collongues, Gilles, Lejus, Perez y Jorba & Michel, 1967;Gauckler, Lukas & Petzow, 1975;Gauckler & Petzow, 1977;Gilles, 1965;Jack, 1976;Lefebvre, 1975;Lejus, 1962Lejus, , 1964Long & Foster, 1961;Michel, 1972;Michel & Huber, 1970;Sakai, 1978;Slack, 1973;Yamaguchi & Yanagida, 1959). Phases in the system can be conveniently described by a parameter z defined by: 3zAIN + (1 -z)Al20 3 ~ mltz+2) N3zO(3_3z).…”
