Thermogravimetric study of the non-stoichiometric wüstite FeOx. Pseudo phases w i and w' i . New T-P-X equilibrium phase diagram

A statistical numerical analysis of thermogravimetric measurements (temperature, mass variation, oxygen pressure) leads to a new equilibrium phase diagram T-P-X of the iron monoxide or wüstite FeOx. Three varieties or pseudo phases W1, W2, W3 are revealed above 911 {\textdegree}C, three others W'1, W'2, W'3 below. This diagram displays their subfields, and shows 25 invariant points between stable phases and 8 possible invariant points between metastable phases. A thermodynamic approach is pointed out, which makes possible to characterize the point defects and their clusters as components of the crystal lattice.

About a first order transformation of magnetite at 1 160 °C

In the literature on the w{ü}stite/magnetite transformation, there are two distinct values of the enthalpy and entropy terms of the equilibrium between these two oxides. The formalism established previously for the calculation of thermodynamic properties of w{ü}stite is taken as well as the adjustment of the boundary between the respective domains. A first-order transformation of the magnetite is demonstrated at 1 433 K or 1 160{\textdegree}C where the change in the reference enthalpy is -9 990 J.mole-1 at heating, with the corresponding entropy change being-6.89 J.K-1. . mole-1. The approximate determination of enthalpy vs temperature is made for both varieties of magnetite. Two values of the molar heat content are deduced, with which a direct experimental value can be compared.

A review about w{ü}stite Fe 1-z O, pseudo-phases and defect clustering

Thermodynamic properties and structural aspects of the non-stoichiometric wüstite Fe 1-z O, and its modifications-the so-called pseudo-phases-as functions of composition z and equilibrium temperature are reviewed from 1960 to present (159 references). The focus is first put on the complexity of the equilibrium phase diagram. The first order transition W $\rightleftharpoons$ W' is specified on the boundary iron/ wüstite close to 1185 K. Transitions correlated to the modifications Wi at T(W) > 1185 K and W'j at 1185K < T(W') < T(W) (i and j =1,2,3) are reexamined. Structural determinations based on point defects and their clustering are recalled. A series of equilibria are developed, trying to justify the stabilization of the pseudo-phases, which can be interpreted in terms of transformation of defect clusters, or their mode of distribution (percolation, superstructure) including changes in electronic charge carriers.
