The 600°C isothermal section of the Zn-Co-Sb ternary system has been determined experimentally by means of scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive spectrometry and x-ray diffraction. Nine three-phase regions could be confirmed in the isothermal section at 600°C. Moreover, a new ternary compound named CoSbZn was positively identified for the first time in this study, containing 25.8 to 39.0 at.% Co, 28.9 to 36.4 at.% Zn and 31.4 to 38.0 at.% Sb. The experimental results indicated that the maximum solubility of Co in the L phase was less than 2.4 at.%.
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.
