This contribution is focused on the study of the thermal properties of rare earth oxides, e.g. lanthanum oxide (La2O3), scandium oxide (Sc2O3), gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3), etc., which are often used as raw materials in the preparation of crystals of multicomponent oxides based on garnets and perovskites. The aim of this work is to study the purity of the starting materials and to determine the optimal conditions for their treatment and storage. Such goals were achieved using simultaneous thermoanalytical methods consisting of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TGA), and mass spectrometry (MS). In this way one can record changes in sample(s) regarding: (i) heat flow e.g. exo- and endo-thermic effects (e.g. phase transitions, reactions, etc.), (ii) mass change (decomposition, reactions, etc.), and (iii) detection of evolved gases and their fragments. Obtained results will be presented and discussed.
