For the first time a method of TG/DSC analysis under constant and variable gas phase composition was applied to reveal interconnection between quenching ramp rates and degree of phase transformation of cubic nonstoichiometric disordered perovskite (I) Sr(0.8)Dy(0.2)CoO(3-d)  to tetragonal structure (II) with ordered Sr/Dy cations and anion vacancies. It was shown that the transformation is a first order phase transition and the ordering process is kinetically controlled. Based on the experimental transition enthalpy it was found that a formal conversion degree of I to II was 98-30% under cooling ramp rates 3-99 K/min. Non-linear relationship between the completeness of I-to-II transformation and mobile oxygen characteristics (content and the enthalpy of O-removal) was demonstrated.
