Pseudophase behavior in the epsilon and iota regions of the praseodymium oxide--oxygen system

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4402042
Besides line and nonstoichiometric phases, complex oxide systems exhibit reproducible bivariant behavior, termed pseudophases, in the two-phase regions which lead to hysteresis. Two of these pseudophases in the praseodymium oxide -- oxygen system are examined in detail by tensimetric and high temperature x-ray studies. The tensimetric measurements show marked and progressive shifting of the curves away from stoichiometry with increasing pressure. In addition, unusual reversals are seen to occur both in oxidation and reduction. X-ray- diffraction patterns at temperature are seen to show systematic changes in line positions and line widths. These are analyzed and their implications discussed in terms of suggested structural changes. Similarities and relevance to other systems are discussed. (auth)
