(a) The DSC signals at the temperatures near the exothermic peak for powder samples of α -Ga2− x Fe x O3 with x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 synthesized at 5 GPa and temperature of 800 °C for 1 hour. The curves are shifted on the Y axis for a better view. (b) The peak temperature and integral area (associated enthalpy change Δ H ) of the exothermic peak as a function of Fe content. (c) The powder XRD patterns of the products after one thermal cycle of α -Ga2− x Fe x O3 ( x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4). The bars show the Bragg position of β -Ga2O3 (PDF# 41-1103).
