The In–Pd–Sn phase diagram (xPd≤0.6): Isothermal sections

“…On the basis of the results obtained by these authors, Elliott [29] and Massalski et al [8] both present assessed versions of the Pd-Sn phase diagrams. Recently, Mathon et al [30] and Nylén et al [31] found slightly higher peritectic decomposition temperatures for the Sn rich phases than mentioned in [8]. Altogether eleven stable intermediate phases have been reported in this rather complex system.…”

Effects of cobalt on the nucleation and grain refinement of Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu solders

“…It is interesting to note that the interfacial planes measured in the current study have the same characteristics as those measured for the βSn/XSn 4 systems. For example, the oS20-XSn 4 phases (NiSn 4 , PdSn 4 and PtSn 4 ) and the oS32-XSn 3 phases (PdSn 3 and -CoSn 3 ) contain tin planes with very similar atomic positions [45]. These tin planes are (h00) for oS32-XSn 3 and either (0k0) or (00l) for oS20-XSn 4 depending on whether the Ccca or Aba2 space group is used respectively.…”

First-principles study of structural and electronic properties of Laves phases structures YM2(M = Cu and Zn)

“…In the YCu 2 -C14-C15-C36-CeCu 2 the Cu-DOS is mainly localized from about −5 to −1 eV. The same for the Y-DOS how have an important role in the Dos of YCu 2 , in the YCu 2 -C14-C15-C36 the Y-DOS is mainly localized from about −1 to 2.75 eV [29,30]. In Figure 6, we can see that the Zn-DOS have an important role in the DOS of YZn 2 .…”
