Title: Calorimetric study of high-pressure polymorphs of Li/sub 2/WO/sub 4/ and Li/sub 2/MoO/sub 4/

Journal Article · · J. Solid State Chem.; (United States)

Heats of transition among the Li/sub 2/WO/sub 4/ polymorphs, Li/sub 2/WO/sub 4/I (phenacite-type structure), Li/sub 2/WO/sub 4/II, Li/sub 2/ WO/sub 4/III, and Li/sub 2/WO/sub 4/IV, and that between Li/sub 2/ MoO/sub 4/ (phenacite) and Li/sub 2/MoO/sub 4/(spinel) were measured by transposed temperature drop calorimetry. The heats of fusion of Li/sub 2/WO/sub 4/I and Li/sub 2/MoO/sub 4/(ph) were also obtained. Using these data, the phase boundaries among the polymorphs of Li/sub 2/WO/sub 4/ and of Li/sub 2/MoO/sub 4/ were calculated. The calculated phase diagrams were compared with those reported previously. They agree well for Li/sub 2/WO/sub 4/ but show significant discrepancies, perhaps related to problems in attaining equilibrium at lower temperature, for Li/sub 2/MoO/sub 4/.
