The phase diagram of the system LiF-GdF3

Description

The phase diagram of the system LiF-GdF3 has been revised, using differential thermal analysis (DTA). We observed a eutectic reaction at 25 mol% of GdF3 and 698 deg. C and a peritectic reaction at 34 mol% of GdF3 and 755 deg. C. We found indications for a GdF3 phase transformation from hexagonal to orthorhombic at 900 deg. C. An identification of the formed phases was made by X-ray diffraction and SEM
