Experimental Investigation of the Bi-Sb-Zn System: Study of the Isoplethic Sections Bi-SbZn, Bi-Sb3Zn4 and Bi-Sb2Zn3

Abstract

The ceramics based on zinc oxide undergo doping on bismuth and antimony. Exploring the rich part of zinc in the Bi-Sb-Zn system is necessary to know the present phases. For this purpose, an experimental study was carried out by differential scanning calorimetry on alloys belonging to the isopleths

Study of electrical conductivity and hardness of the alloys of ternary Bi–Sb–Zn system and calculation of isothermal section at 298 K

“…Given that the Bi-Sb-Zn ternary system is considered as one of the alternative lead-free systems and that zinc alloys, mainly bismuth and antimony doped, are precursors of semiconductors ceramics, it has been widely studied. Majority of papers found in literature are thermodynamic studies and studies of miscibility gap of binary Bi-Sb [1,2], Bi-Zn and Sb-Zn [3,4] systems as well as ternary Bi-Sb-Zn system [5,6]. In our previous work [7] we experimentally and analytically investigated phase diagram of the ternary Bi-Sb-Zn system and three vertical sections of the Bi-Sb-Zn ternary system with molar ratios Bi : Sb = 1, Bi : Zn = 1 and Sb : Zn = 1.…”
