Revue de Physique Appliquee, 1973, 8 (3) Abstract. 2014 The thermodynamic properties and the T-x phase diagrams for liquid-solid equilibrium in II-VI and IV-VI ternary systems are described by a regular associated liquid solution model derived from that used by Jordan for ZnTe and CdTe and by the regular approximation for the solid solution. For the pseudo-binary systems exhibiting miscibility in both phases and monotonic variation of the liquidus and solidus curves, a general expression is obtained. It is independent of the interactions in the liquid, and is the same as for ideal non associated liquids. In the calculation of the ternary T-x phase diagrams five parameters are needed : the two interaction parameters 03B11, 03B12, the two coefficients of dissociation, 03B21, 03B22, obtained from the respective binary liquidus, and the interaction parameter W in the solid, derived from the pseudo-binary phase diagrams. Good agreement with experimental data is obtained for the pseudo-binary systems : ZnTe-CdTe, ZnTe-HgTe, ZnSe-ZnTe, CdTe-HgTe, CdTe-CdSe, HgTe-HgSe, PbSe-PbTe, PbTe-SnTe, and for the ternary systems : Zn-Cd-Te and Pb-Sn-Te. The theory is especially suited for the case 03B2 ~ 0 and 03B1 is small. It is applied to the calculation of the chalcogen-rich part of the ternary systems : Cd-Hg-Te and Cd-Se-Te.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
