Phase equilibria in the La1−xCaxFeO3−δ (LCF) system were assessed at temperatures below 1350°C in both simulated air and argon atmospheres using a combination of differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and high‐temperature X‐ray diffraction. The solubility limit of Ca in the perovskite structure was determined to be 38% A‐site substitution. A high‐temperature orthorhombic to rhombohedral transition was identified and the dependence on oxygen partial pressure and effect on thermal expansion were characterized. A partial, pseudobinary LaFeO3–CaFeO2.5 phase diagram is presented that is based on these analyses combined with data available in the open literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
