Abstract:A computational method has been proposed for calculating the correct interaction parameters
from experimental phase diagrams, despite reports that this problem was believed to be a
"thermodynamically incorrect” one. It has been shown that the presumed difficulties are not of
fundamental importance. An original computer program has been applied to two well-known
systems Bi – Sb (1) and Bi2Te3 – Sb2Te3 (2), and a good agreement between calculated and
observed values has been achieved. The values of interaction p… Show more
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.
