STUDY OF 3Bi2O3•5B2O3-Nd2O3•3B2O3 SYSTEM AND DEPENDENCE OF ELECTROPHYSICAL AND HEAT PROPERTIES OF OBTAINED ALLOYS ON THE COMPOSITION

Abstract

The 3Bi 2 O 3 ·5B 2 O 3 -Nd 2 O 3 ·3B 2 O 3 system was studied using DTA, XRD, and electrical conductivity and heat properties measured. A new ternary compound was revealed in the system. Formation of a new compound expands an area of glass formation towards non-glass forming boundary binary compounds. It found that obtained materials possess semiconductor properties as distinct from initial 3Bi 2 O 3 ·5B 2 O 3 , Nd 2 O 3 ·3B 2 O 3
