Subsolidus phase relation in the system ZnO–Li2O–MoO3

The subsolidus phase relation of the system ZnO–Li2O–MoO3 has been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. The phase diagram has been constructed. There are six binary compounds and one ternary compound in this system. The phase diagram comprises nine three-phase regions. The ternary compound Li2Zn2(MoO4)3 is refined by the Rietveld method. It belongs to an orthorhombic system with space group Pnma and lattice constants a = 5.1114 Å, b = 10.4906 Å, c = 17.6172 Å.
