Considering the inconsistency of the available literature data on phase equilibria in the SnSe -Sb 2 Se 3 system, the issue was re-examined by differential thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction technique. A new, refined version of the phase diagram was constructed. It was found that the ternary compound Sn 2 Sb 2 Se 5 and the intermediate -phase with a homogeneity region of 48-60 mol% Sb 2 Se 3 are formed in the system, which melting with decomposition by peritectic reactions at 598°С (Sn 2 Sb 2 Se 5 ) and 560°С (γ-phase). This area includes stoichiometric compositions of ternary compounds SnSb 2 Se 4 and Sn 2 Sb 6 Se 11 . A comparative analysis of the results obtained with literature data was carried out.
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.
