| Abstract Scope |
High-temperature in-situ x-ray powder diffraction experiments were carried out to investigate the phase transition mechanism of 2ZrO2·P2O5 (Z2P). The crystal structures of the low-temperature (α-Z2P) and the high-temperature phase (β-Z2P) were determined as a function of temperature. Linear thermal expansion coefficients were calculated from the thermal expansion of the unit cell parameters of α- and β-Z2P. The phase transition from the α- into the β-phase is most notably accompanied with an increase of the average atomic distance of neighboring Zr atoms. The bond valence method was used to calculate the valences of the atoms in Z2P as well as the contributions of different atoms to the valence of the metal atom. In analogy to the metal-metal interactions in the d1 transition metal compounds the metal-metal interactions in Z2P seem to increase the stability of the low-temperature phase. |
