Abstract:Phase relations in the REM2O3-SiO2 (REM=Y/Yb/La) system have been studied with the equilibration/quenching/SEM-EPMA technique. The solvus and liquidus between 1400°C and 1650°C have been determined. Results obtained in this study show that Yb2O3 can dissolve maximumly 0.57 wt.% in SiO2 phases, and the maximum solubility of La2O3 and Y2O3 in SiO2 phase were 0.22 wt.% and 0.07 wt.% respectively. Correspondingly, SiO2 has a low solubility in La2Si2O7, and nearly doesn't dissolve in Y2Si2O7 or Yb2Si2O7. No liquid … Show more
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.
