“…This study is aimed at exploring the phase relations of the Pt-Sb-Te system at 1000 • C. Binary phase diagrams of the Pt-Sb system, reported earlier by Friedrich and Leroux [4], Nemilow and Woronow [5], Bhan et al [6], Kim [7], Bhan and Schubert [8] and Durussel and Feschotte [9], suggest that Pt, PtSb and PtSb 2 are the only stable solid phases at 1000 • C. According to the phase relations of the Pt-Te system, first investigated by Gimpl et al [10], Bhan et al [6], and later by Kim [11], Pt, Pt 3 Te 4 , and PtTe 2 are stable at 1000 • C. All versions of the Sb-Te phase diagrams reported by Hansen and Anderko [12], Abrikosov et al [13], and Brown and Lewis [14] illustrate that liquid is the only stable phase at 1000 • C.…”
