New experimental results and improvment of the modelization of the (ga,mg) system

Thermodynamic assessment of the ternary systems Ga–Mg–O, Ga–Ni–O, Mg–Ni–O and extrapolation to the Ga–Mg–Ni–O phase diagram

“…In the Ga-Mg system, there are five stoichiometric intermetallic compounds, Mg 5 Ga 2 , Mg 2 Ga, MgGa, MgGa 2 , and Mg 2 Ga 5 . The optimization of the thermodynamic properties with the use of Legendre polynomials has been carried out by Notin et al [12]. In the Ga-Ni system, there are seven intermetallic compounds, Ni 3 Ga, Ni 5 Ga 3 , Ni 3 Ga 2 , NiGa, Ni 3 Ga 4 , Ni 2 Ga 3 , and NiGa 4 .…”

Thermodynamic reassessment of the magnesium–gallium system

“…Secondly, Moser et al [10] and Predel and Stein [11] indicated the temperature dependence of mixing enthalpy of the liquid Mg-Ga phase. But it was not considered by Notin et al [9] in the assessment of the Mg-Ga system. Thirdly, too many parameters were adopted by Notin et al [9] to describe the liquid phase.…”

“…Recently, Notin et al [9] thermodynamically assessed the Mg-Ga system. Although most experimental data were reasonably reproduced [9], some problems still exist in the assessed Mg-Ga system.…”

“…Recently, Notin et al [9] thermodynamically assessed the Mg-Ga system. Although most experimental data were reasonably reproduced [9], some problems still exist in the assessed Mg-Ga system. Firstly, there is inconsistency in the equilibrium: liquid + MgGa ↔ MgGa 2 , which was peritectic in experimental data but was eutectic in calculated data.…”
