The technique of annealing samples at a temperature at which both liquid and solid phases occur, followed by quenching to freeze‐in the solid phase, has been used to investigate equilibrium conditions off the pseudobinary section. It has been found that large three‐phase liquid‐solid‐solid fields occur corresponding to the two‐phase solid‐solid field of the pseudobinary section. The tie‐lines of the various two‐phase liquid‐solid fields have been determined together with the boundaries of the three‐phase fields at various temperatures in the range 600°–730°C. The locus of the cusp in the liquidus sheet corresponding to the liquidus point of the three‐phase field has also been found. Finally, the two solid phases of the three‐phase fields give the ranges of immiscibility in the pseudobinary section
GaAsySb1−y
, and hence the variation of the miscibility gap with temperature has been determined. This gap is found to be very asymmetric even at temperatures a little below the peritectic horizontal, the solubility limits at 700°C being
y=0.30 normaland 0.95
. The results are compared with the predictions of the simple solution model which give reasonable agreement with the liquidus data but poor agreement with the miscibility gap values.
