The phase relation in the La2O3–Lu2O3–Yb2O3 ternary system at 1500 °C were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy in the overall concentration range. The test samples of different compositions have been prepared from nitrate acid solutions by evaporation, drying, and calcinations at 800 ºC. To study phase relationships at 1500 °C the as-repared samples were thermally treated in two stages: at 1100 °C and then at 1500 °C (for 70 h in air).The phase composition of the test samples studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD, DRON-3), microstructural phase and electron microprobe X-ray (Superprobe-733, JEOL, Japan, Palo Alto, CA) analyses. Solid solutions based on various polymorphic forms of original oxides and ordered LaLuO3 (LaYbO3) phases were detected in the system. No new phases were found in the system. The isothermal section of the phase diagram for the La2O3–Lu2O3–Yb2O3 system has been developed. It was established that in the ternary La2O3–Lu2O3–Yb2O3 system there exist fields of solid solutions based on hexagonal (A) modification of La2O3, cubic (C) modification of Y2O3 and Lu2O3, as well as perovskite-type ordered phases of orthorhombic symmetry LaLuO3 and LaYbO3 (R). The refined lattice parameters of the unit cells for solid solutions and microstructures of the definite field of compositions for the systems solid were determined. The La2O3–Lu2O3–Yb2O3 system forms an infinite series of solid solutions based on the perovskite-type phase. The maximum solubility of Lu2O3 in the R-phase is ~6 mol. % along section Lu2O3 –(50 mol. % La2О3 – 50 mol. % Yb2О3). The region of homogeneity of the R-phase extends from 46 to 56 mol. % La2O3 in the cross section La2O3–(50 mol.% Lu2O3–50 mol.% Yb2O3)
