Phase Equilibria in the System La2O3‐P2O5

Abstract
Subsolidus phase equilibria in the system La2O3‐P2O5 were established. The system contains six intermediate compounds having molar La2O3:P2O5 ratios of 3:1,7:3,1:1,1:2,1:3, and 1:5. It was found that the 3:1 compound has a phase transformation at 935°C. The 1:2 compound decomposes to a mixture of 1:1 and 1:3 at 755°C. The 1:3 compound melts incongruently to 1:1 and liquid at 1235°C and the 1:5 compound melts congruently at 1095°C. None of the lanthanum phosphates have lower temperature limits of stability.
