The interaction in the quasi-ternary system Sb2Se3-CuTe-Cr2Te3 along the Sb2Se3-CuCr2Te4 section was studied by methods of physicochemical analysis: differential thermal (DTA), X-ray phase (XRD), microstructure (MSA), as well as by measuring the density and its microhardness and plotted. The phase diagram of the system is quasi-binary, eutectic type. The composition of the double eutectic formed in the system is 20 mol % CuCr2Te4 and a temperature of 490°C. As a result of the analysis of the microstructure, it was determined that there are single-phase fields based on the original components. It was found that at room temperature, solid solutions based on Sb2Se3 extend to 5 mol % CuCr2Te4, and on the basis of CuCr2Te4 solid solutions reach 13 mol % Sb2Se3.
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.
