摘要
A new series of rare earth solid solutions Yb2鈭?em>xLaxW3O12 were successfully synthesized by the solid-state method. Effects of substituted ion lanthanum on the microstructures and thermal expansion properties in the resulting Yb2鈭?em>xLaxW3O12 ceramics were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and thermal mechanical analyzer (TMA). Results indicate that the structural phase transition of the Yb2鈭?em>xLaxW3O12 changes from orthorhombic to monoclinic with increasing substituted content of lanthanum. The pure phases can form in the composition range of 0xA0;鈮?#xA0;x < 0.5 with orthorhombic structure and 1.5 < x 鈮?#xA0;2 with monoclinic one. High lanthanum content leads to a low hygroscopicity of Yb2鈭?em>xLaxW3O12. Negative thermal coefficients of the Yb2鈭?em>xLaxW3O12 (0 鈮?#xA0;x 鈮?#xA0;2) also vary from 鈭?.78 脳 10鈭? K鈭? to 2.06 脳 10鈭? K鈭? with increasing substituted content of lanthanum.
