Thermodynamic modeling of the Al–U and Co–U systems

Thermodynamic description of the Ag–(Ca, Li, Zn) and Ca–(In, Li) binary systems

“…Obtaining such knowledge exclusively from experiments is cumbersome and expensive. Thus thermodynamic modeling of multi-component systems using the Calculation of Phase Diagrams (CALPHAD) approach has been shown to be a very efficient tool in this regard [15][16][17][18]. Within this approach, the thermodynamics of a system is described through simple phenomenological expressions for the Gibbs energies of all the phases that are likely to take part in equilibria.…”

Thermodynamic Database and the Phase Diagrams of the (U, Th, Pu)-X Binary Systems

Thermodynamic assessments of the U–Ni and Th–Ni systems

“…Our goal is to develop the thermodynamic database of nuclear materials, and the present group has made some thermodynamic assessments in (U, Th, Pu)-X system [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. In this paper, as a part of the thermodynamic database for the systems of the nuclear materials, the thermodynamic descriptions for the phase equilibria in the U-Ni and Th-Ni systems were carried out based on the available experimental data including phase diagram and thermodynamic properties by using the CALPHAD method.…”
