Abstract: | Additions of Fe2O3 to CaO·Bi2O3·2 GeO2 cause Ca3Fe2Ge3O12 garnets to precipitate from the resultant melt at 1250°C. Garnets with the composition Ca3Fe(Al, Cr) Ge3O12 are also precipitated by adding either or mixtures. The well-formed crystals range from several to 100 μm in size and are obtained in 50 to 70% yields at . Additions of Fe2O3 (up to ) to compositions containing ZnO, CdO, SrO, and BaO yield only dark glasses. The physical properties of these glasses suggest that Fe(III), in contrast to AL(III) & Ga(III), prefers octahedral coordination. |
