Effect of lanthanide group REM oxides activated mechanically on the viscosity of borate melts
TL;DRAbstract
The viscosity of borate melts containing 1 wt % lanthanide group REM oxide is studied by an oscillatory viscometer in the temperature range 1100–1700 K. The activation energy of viscous flow is calculated. The zigzag-shaped dependence of the viscosity on the atomic number of a lanthanide in a number of melts obeys the series periodicity (tetrad effect). The deviations from the tetrad effect are due to the formation of divalent rare-earth element ions.
