Doctoral Dissertations

“The hexagonal-rhombohedral Ti₂O₃ phase in the Ti-O system extends from 32.5 to 34.5% oxygen b.w., with the exact composition of Ti₂O₃ nearly in the middle of the phase. Seven samples of different composition within that phase were made, and the lattice constants (a and c) and the density of each sample were determined.

The plots of the constants against the composition of the samples revealed a deviation from Vegard’s rule when approaching the exact composition of Ti₂O₃. The lattice constants of this compound, obtained by graphical interpolation were; a_{25 …}

Determination Of Lattice Constants, And Thermal Expansion Coefficients Of Ti₂O₃ And Of Its Solid Solutions With Ti, Tatsuhiko Ejima

Masters Theses

"For the determination of the precise lattice constants of Ti₂O₃, it is very important to use a Ti₂O₃ as pure as possible.

Due to the formation of solid solution with titanium or oxygen, ranging from 32.5 to. 34.5% O₂ by weight in the Ti-O binary system, it is very difficult to get a pure Ti₂O₃ (33.8% O₂ by weight) in the laboratory.

To determine the precise lattice constants of pure Ti₂O₃, therefore, the extrapolation method was used.

This method computes the respective constants for pure Ti₂O₃ from the values obtained With Ti₂O₃-Ti solid solutions by extrapolation. To carry out such …
