Factors influencing the formation of silver-rich solid solutions in rare-earth-silver alloy systems

Thermodynamic assessment of the Ag–Yb system

“…The AgYb compound transform from orthorhombic ␤-type Fe structure at room temperature to cubic CsCl-type structure at 456 • C. No structure change has been reported for the Ag 2 Yb in his work [11]. It was also reported [11] that about 2 at.% Yb dissolved in Ag, which agrees well with the value 1.92 at.% reported by Gschneidner et al [9]. No appreciable solid solubility of Ag in terminal phase ␤ Yb was observed.…”

“…Gschneidner et al [9] had determined the solid solubility of Yb in Ag, the eutectic temperature of Ag with the Ag-rich * Corresponding author.…”

Experimental investigation and thermodynamic assessment of the Mg–Gd–Ag system focused on Mg-rich region

“…As Ag-Gd binary alloys are promising electronic materials and amorphous materials, the Ag-Gd system has been experimentally investigated repeatedly [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] and thermodynamic assessments have also been performed by various authors [35,36]. Besides the solution phases, the Ag-Gd system contains three intermetallic compounds AgGd, Ag 2 Gd and Ag 51 Gd 14 .…”

Thermochemistry of some binary alloys of Samarium with the noble metals (Cu, Ag, Au) by high temperature direct synthesis calorimetry

“…Most of the information which we found were related to their crystallographic structures [16][17][18][20][21][22][23] and to measurements on specific heat [19]. We found no enthalpies of formation or free energy data to compare with our measurements.…”
