Figure 13
Diffractograms of the NdCo sample during the reduction with humid H2 at increasing temperature. A new phase, which could be assigned to bcc Fe/Co, was formed above 550 °C – the corresponding (110) reflection is marked by the green box. A shift of the corresponding peak to lower angles was observed at higher temperatures, which was stronger than expected from thermal expansion (compare position to red line). At 600 °C, a CaO phase (brown box) appeared. Both the metallic bcc phase and the CaO phase were more prominent at higher temperatures, while the perovskite structure (reflections labelled `P'; for the respective hkl indices, cf. Fig. 2[link]) stayed intact.
