Phase diagram of the Pr–Mn–O system in composition–temperature–oxygen pressure coordinates

Resumo

The phase relations in the Pr–Mn–O system were studied by the static method at lowered oxygen pressure in combination with thermal analysis and high-temperature X-ray diffraction. The equilibrium oxygen pressure in dissociation of PrMn₂O₅ and PrMnO₃ was measured, and the thermodynamic characteristics of formation of these compounds from elements were calculated. The Р–Т–х phase diagram of the Pr–Mn–O system was constructed in the “composition–oxygen pressure–temperature” coordinates.
