ABSTRACT

Eighteen compositions of MoO3-Te at 800 °C and seven of each of MoO3-Cd (at 500 °C) and MoO3-Sb (at 600 °C) were heat treated in vacuum-sealed quartz ampules. The phases of the heat-treated compositions were analyzed using x-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. The interac-tions in the three systems are summarized. Three phases in equilibrium are (1) in the MoO3-Te system at 800 °C, Te, Mo4O11, TeMo4O13—(0<xMoO3< 0 889) and MoO3,Mo4O11, TeMo4O13—(0.889 < xMoO3< 1); (2) in the MoO3-Cd system at 500 °C, Cd,MoO2, CdMoO4—(0<xMoO3<0.6667) and MoO3, MoO2, CdMoO4—(0.6667 < xMoO3< 1); and (3) in the MoO3-Sb system at 600°C, Sb, MoO2,Sb4Mo10O31—(0<xMoO3< 0.734) and MoO3+ MoO2+Sb4Mo10O31(0.734 <xMoO3< 1). The results lead to onstruction of ternary phase diagrams: Te-MoO3-TeMo4O13,Cd-MoO3-CdMoO4, and Sb-oO3-Sb4Mo10O31.
