摘要
The paper presents experimental results of investigations on the influence of temperature and thermo-chemical annealing on the structural and optical properties of YbAlO3 crystals. Thermal behaviour of the crystal structure has been studied in the temperature range of 19-1173 K by means of in situ high-resolution x-ray powder diffraction using synchrotron radiation. Lattice expansion of YbAlO3 displays a strongly anisotropic character: the relative expansion along the b direction is about two times smaller than that along the a and c axes. The influence of thermo-chemical annealing in oxidizing and reducing atmospheres has been studied by means of in situ optical spectroscopy. The increase of the absorption in the range of 300-600 nm during annealing in an oxidizing atmosphere as well as its bleaching during reduction has been observed in the temperature range 700-1000 K. The oxidation and reduction kinetics have been analysed by means of mathematical models taking into account diffusion and the quasi-chemical reaction of the defect centres.
