| Abstract: | Chemical Vapor Transport of Ternary Cadmium Molybdates The ternary phase diagram Cd/Mo/O at 923 K have been investigated. Single crystals of CdMoO4 and Cd2Mo3O8 have been obtained via chemical vapor transport using X2 and NH4X (X = Cl, Br, I) as transport agent. Deposition rates are very different: up to 10 mg/h for CdMoO4, maximum 10–3 mg/h for Cd2Mo3O8. The observed transport behaviour is compared with results of thermodynamical model calculations. The influence of source composition, transport agent and temperature gradient is described in detail. |
