ABSTRACT:

The temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity of the molten eutectic GdCl3(0.515)–KCl (0.485), containing up to 3.3 mol. % of gadolinium oxide have been investigated. The temperature dependences of the specific electrical conductivity of the molten GdCl3–KCl–Gd2O3 system were approximated by the second order polynomials. The formation of gadolinium oxychloride was confirmed by spectral studies of frozen melt.
