Abstract: | On Perovskite Phases in the System BaO? UO2+x with x < 1 The phase relations in the BaO? UO2+x system are investigated by x-ray and spectroscopic methods. The higher boundary of the perovskite phase is situated near Ba:U = 3:1. The phase rage depends on the Ba:U ratio as well as on the uranium valency. The composition BaUO3 is not enclosed. The stability of the phase is heavily influenced by the possibility of charge delocalisation. The properties of a new ternary oxide, 1.47 BaO · UO2.525, are reported as well. |
