The GeBi2Te4-Bi2Te3-Te system was investigated by XRD and EMF measurements of the reversible concentration cell of the type
(-) GeTe (solid) │glycerol +KCl │ Ge-Bi-Тe (solid) (+)
in the 300-450K temperature range. It was shown that, in the indicated temperature range, elementary tellurium forms tie lines with all telluride phases of the system. Equations for the temperature dependencies of EMF in all phase regions have been obtained from the data of EMF measurements, from which the partial thermodynamic functions of GeTe in alloys have been calculated. The partial molar functions of germanium in alloys were determined by combining obtained data with the thermodynamic functions of GeTe. Standard Gibbs free energy and enthalpy of formation, as well as the standard entropy of the GeBi2Te4, GeBi4Te7, GeBi6Te10 compounds and solid solutions based on Bi2Te3 have been calculated using these data, solid-phase equilibrium diagram of the GeBi2Te4-Bi2Te3-Te system, and corresponding thermodynamic functions of Bi2Te3.
Thermodynamic properties of the Sb2Te3 compound were studied by measuring electromotive force (EMF) with a liquid electrolyte in the temperature range of 300-450 K. The partial molar functions of antimony in alloys and the corresponding standard integral thermodynamic functions of the Sb2Te3 compound were calculated for the first time based on the EMF measurements under standard conditions. Comparative analysis of obtained results with literature data was carried out
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
