Synthesis, Characterization, and Thermal Decomposition of Pure and Dysprosium Doped Yttrium Phosphate System
Figure 7
(a) Thermograph depicting simultaneous recording of TGA and DTA curves which clearly shows that pure YPO4 crystal is thermally unstable as the temperature increases from room temperature to higher values. (b) Thermograph of Dy:YPO4 depicting the TGA and DTA curves shows that it is thermally more stable as compared to the pure crystals of YPO4.
