Abstract

The subsolidus phase relations of the Bi 2O 3Nd 2O 3CuO ternary system and its binary systems along with crystallographic parameters of the compounds were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction and differential thermal analysis. The room temperature section of the phase diagram of the Bi 2O 3Nd 2O 3CuO system can be divided into two diphase regions and six triphase regions. No ternary compound was found. There exist two solid solutions (α, β) and a compound Bi 0.55Nd 0.45O 1.5 in the (Bi 2O 2) 1 − x (Nd 2O 3) x system. Both solid solution α (0.05≤ x≤0.30) and β (0.53≤ x≤0.73) belong to the rhombohedral system ( R 3m ). The lattice parameters represented by a hexagonal cell are a = 3.9832(4), c = 27.536(5) A ̊ for Bi 0.8Nd 0.2O 1.5 (α phase) and a = 3.8826(3), c = 9.727(1) A ̊ for Bi 0.4Nd 0.8O 1.5 (β phase). The Bi 0.55Nd 0.45O 1.5 compound crystallizes in a face-centered cubic (f.c.c.) lattice with a = 5.5480(2) A ̊ .
