The only intermediate phase stable in air in the system ZrO 2 −TeO 2 is ZrTe 3 O 8 with a cubic, distorted, fluorite‐type structure. The compound melts congruently at 1014°± 5°C to an unstable liquid. Vaporization occurs, with loss of TeO 2 , at high temperatures with an activation energy of 64 kcal per mole of ZrTe 3 O 8 . No glass formation was observed in the system.
