In this work, a critical evaluation of all available phase diagrams and thermodynamic data for the As–Cd, As–Zn and As–Cd–Zn systems has been performed and thermodynamic assessments over the whole composition ranges are presented using the CALPHAD method. To predict thermodynamic properties and phase equilibria for these systems, the Modified Quasichemical Model for short range ordering was used for the liquid phase and the Compound Energy Formalism was used for the solid solutions. The optimized binary systems are in good agreement with existing experimental data. Within the ternary system predicted phase equilibria, the $${\text{ZnAs}}_{2}{-}{\text{CdAs}}_{2}$$ ZnAs 2 - CdAs 2 and $${{\text{Zn}}_{3}\text{As}}_{2}{-}{{\text{Cd}}_{3}\text{As}}_{2}$$ Zn 3 As 2 - Cd 3 As 2 sections are in good agreement with the experimental data. Also, the eutectic temperature is accurately optimized for $${\text{ZnAs}}_{2}{-}{{\text{Cd}}_{3}\text{As}}_{2}$$ ZnAs 2 - Cd 3 As 2 and $${{\text{Zn}}_{3}\text{As}}_{2}{-}{\text{CdAs}}_{2}$$ Zn 3 As 2 - CdAs 2 . However, the calculated liquidus of these two joins are less satisfactory compared to the experimental data. This is most likely due to the polymerization behavior of arsenic and its multivalence, which is not considered by the model used in this work.

Elastic properties of monoclinic ZnAs2 crystal are studied under the PBEsol scheme using the CRYSTAL Program. Independent elastic stiffness coefficients have been computed. Various elastic properties, such as shear modulus, bulk modulus, Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio have been analyzed. The directional dependence of the computed Young’s modulus and linear compressibility is studied using ELATE software. Our investigation reveals the finite elastic anisotropy of the monoclinic ZnAs2 crystal.
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.
