Abstract

At the CaWO4|WO3 interface in air at 900°C under a minimum external mechanical pressure, two oppositely directed processes - (i) spreading of WO3 on the surface of CaWO4 and (ii) penetration of calcium from CaWO4 (or CaWO4 itself) into the bulk of WO3 - occur simultaneously. The electric field of a certain polarity accelerates both processes. To explain the experimental data, a model of the surface intermediate phase (CW-s) was proposed and proved in experiments. The key point is that the specific surface energy αCW-s is lower than αWO3 and αCaWO4.
