Processing stages of Gd2Sr(Al1-xFex)2O7 series简

The continuous series of perovskite-related oxides with the general formula GdzSr（Al1-xFex）207 0 〈 x 〈 1 were prepared by conventional ceramic technology in air. The pro- cessing stages of Gd2Sr（Al1-xFex）207 0 〈 x 〈 1 phases were investigated by means of X-ray powder diffraction （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM） with the element phase analysis. The three main stages of GdeSr（All_~Fex）aO7 for- marion are pointed out. The analysis of the mutual influence of intermediate compounds on the synthesis of the target solid solutions of complex composition, in particular for Gd2Sr（All-xFex）207 was carried out. It is determined that the closeness of the reactive mixture composition to the composition of individual compounds Gd2SrA1207 or GdaSrFeaO7 is of importance for the realization of a partic- ular way of GdESr（Al1-xFex）207 solid solutions formation. It is shown that at x ,= 0.2 the reversing in scheme of Gd2Sr（Al1-Fex）207 series formation is observed. The formation of the Gd2Sr（Al1-xFex）207 continuous series is indicated by the monotonic dependence of molar unit cell volume on the iron content x.
