Abstract

According to the phase diagram, 6Bi2O3.GeO2 composition melts congruently at 93$0^{\circ}C$ and forms a stable ${\gamma}$-6Bi2O3.GeO2 crystal phase below the melting point. But when the melt of this composition was cooled at a rate 1-15$0^{\circ}C$/min without tapping by a glass rod or impurity addition, a metastable $\delta$-6Bi2O3.GeO2 crystal phase was formed. It is due to that as the nucleation energy barrier of $\delta$-6Bi2O3.GeO2 crystals, which have more open and defective structure, is lower than that of ${\gamma}$-6Bi2O3.GeO2 crystals. When impurities or ${\gamma}$-6Bi2O3.GeO2 crystals existed in the melt, stable ${\gamma}$-6Bi2O3.GeO2 crystal phase was formed at various cooling rate. It is because of that the impurities or the ${\gamma}$-6Bi2O3.GeO2 crystals role as a seed crystal and as a result the nucleation energy barrier of ${\gamma}$-6Bi2O3.GeO2 crystals is lowered.
