“…Investigations of the solid state, reactions between Fe,O,, Y,03, CaCO, and ZrO, , mixed in a molar ratio corresponding to that of Y2,6Ca,,4 Fe,,6 Zr0,40,2 revealed a two-step process for the garnet formation [3]. For a better understanding of this reaction the solid state reactions of a series of mixtures with decreasing Fe,O, content were investigated by X-ray diffraction and DTG(M) [4] methods.…”
