a b s t r a c tThe AgGaSe 2 as well as AgGaS 2 has been showed to be efficient frequency doubling crystals for infrared radiation such as the 10.6 m CO 2 laser. The production of these crystals needs good knowledge of the phase relationship. The thermodynamic description of the binary Ag-Ga system has been chosen as a first step for the description of the Ag-Ga-Se and Ag-Ga-S systems. The Calphad approach has been used for this modeling. Good agreement between experimental data and calculated values has been found.
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.
