Thermodynamic measurements in the Mg–Zn system

On the scaling factor in Debye–Grüneisen model: A case study of the Mg–Zn binary system

“…We believe the true utility of using a calculated scaling factor lies in its use for efficiently predicting finite-temperature properties of crystalline systems. [19].…”

“…While Chen and Sundman [1] and Lu et al [7,12] have studied various classes of crystals, a systematic study of the scaling factor for one binary system has not be accomplished. The Mg-Zn system is chosen as a case study because it contains a multitude of stoichiometric intermetallics that have been studied extensively using experiments [13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Mg-Zn intermetallics also have very different crystallography including monoclinic, hexagonal Laves, and cubic phases.…”

“…Experimental Cp and H-H 298 data are obtained from Morishita et al[16], Morishita and Koyama[15] and Berche et al[19].…”

Analysis of intermetallic particles in Mg–12 wt.%Zn binary alloy using transmission electron microscopy

“…A significant amount of work was also recently performed [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]; however, there are only a few experimental papers that addressed Mg-Zn binary alloys with a Zn concentration that exceeded the solubility limit in Mg at the eutectic temperature [5,[13][14][15][16][17]. This deficiency could be a major reason for an uncertainty about a crystal structure of an Mg-Zn intermetallic phase at approximately 74 wt.% of the Zn concentration in a generally accepted binary phase diagram [18] or its revised forms [7,19].…”

“…Despite this finding, in recent experimental works [13,15] and reassessments of the Mg-Zn binary system [9][10][11] [24] or accessible in an online database [25]. Moreover, this new type of diagram was also considered in [4].…”
