Phase diagrams and volumes of mixing in binary systems of molten bismuth(III) chloride with alkali-metal chlorides

“…The scans indicated stress relaxation in the supercooled liquid regime and all three samples showed crystallization exotherms. The x = 0.35 glass showed two melting points at 157(2) • C and 172(2) • C while the x = 0.40 glass had a single melting point at 155(2) • C in excellent agreement with the phase diagram reported by Addison and Halstead (1966) for the (KCl) x (BiCl 3 ) 1−x pseudo binary tie line. The x = 0.45 glass showed a single melting point at 155(2) • C rather than the two expected from the phase diagram.…”

“…It was checked that the resultant F (k) tend to the correct high-k limit, obey the usual sum rule relation and that there is good overall agreement between F (k) and the back-Fourier transform of the corresponding G(r) after the unphysical low-r oscillations are set to their calculated limiting G(0) value (Salmon and Benmore 1992). The density of the x = 0.40 glass at room temperature (Weber et al 1982) was extrapolated to 20 K by using a temperature dependence estimated from the density of the molten phase (Addison and Halstead 1966). The liquid state density data were also used to estimate the density of the other glasses.…”
