Abstract

The pure ternary phases on the line Yb2O3-SeO2 in thermodynamical equilibrium have been synthesized by solid state reaction and characterized using X-ray powder diffraction and IR-spectroscopy. There exist three phases: Yb2SeO5, Yb2Se3O9 and Yb2Se4O11, the last one with a homogeneiety range extending a higher SeO2-content. The thermal decompositions have been determined by total pressure measurements, and the thermodynamical data of the compounds have been derived. The phase diagram and the phase barogram have been established using the results of thermal analysis and total pressure measurements.
