Comment on the paper “Phase stability study of the pseudobinary system Gd2O3–Nd2O3 (T ≤ 1350 °C)” by G. A. Costa, C. Artini, A. Ubaldini, M. M. Carnasciali, P. Mele, and R. Masini
By means of thermal and X-ray analyses with oxygen control, 14 phase diagrams of the systems MgF2-(Y, Ln)F3 have been obtained, where Ln are all lanthanides except Pm and Eu. All the systems are eutectic. Solid solutions up to 12 mole% MgF2, which decompose by the eutectoid scheme, were detected based on high-temperature modifications of trifluorides of Y, Er, Tm, Yb and Lu, with a structure of theα-YF3 type.
A phase diagram of the system CaF2-GdF3 was studied by thermal and X-ray analysis. Two wide domains of solid solutions based on CaF2 and a high-temperature modification of α-GdF3 (LaF3-structural type) are present in this system. Two maxima were found on the melting curves of the Ca1−xGdxF2+x and α-(Gd1−yCayF3−y solid solutions, at 1428 ± 10‡ (5 mole % GdF3) and 1282 ± 5‡ (85 mole % GdF3), respectively. The coordinates of the eutectic are 60 mole % GdF3 and 1233 ± 5‡.
