Abstract
The polymorphic transformations in pure barium metasilicate and barium metagermanate have been investigated by DTA and X-ray methods. The results were used to clarify some uncertainties which exist in the published data. An endothermic heat-effect in β-BaSiO3 was observed by DTA at 1275°C which was found to be pronounced in presence of BaGeO3. The low-temperature α-form of BaGeO3 transforms to a high- temperature β-form at 1180°C. In both compounds the transformation is reversible. BaSiO3 and BaGeO3 form a continuous series of solid solution with one another. Solidus and liquidus curves determined from DTA results indicate that there is no maxima and minima present in the BaSiO3-BaGeO3 system. The transformation temperature of BaSiO3 at 1275°C remains unchanged in presence of BaGeO3 but small addition of BaSiO3 stabilises the high-temperature form of BaGeO3.
