“…However, the invariant phase equilibria Liquid = fcc_A1 (Pd) + Pd3Sn in the Pd-rich side was unreasonably reproduced by these two sets of thermodynamic parameters [12,13]. In addition, some new experimental data including enthalpy of mixing of liquid [14,15], heat capacities of the intermetallic compounds [3,15,16], enthalpies of formation of compounds [17,18], and a new stable intermetallic phase Pd5Sn7 [19] were not considered in the previous assessments [12,13]. Therefore, there is a need for comprehensive thermodynamic assessments by considering all the thermodynamic property and phase diagram data available in the literature.…”
