Thermodynamic properties of liquid tin-tellurium alloys at high temperature

Thermodynamic Descriptions for the Sn-Te and Pb-Sn-Te Systems

“…Homogeneity information for the SnTe compound was reported by Brebrick 11 and Houston et al 16 with Hall's method, by Mazelsky and Lubell 17 from lattice parameter characterization, by Brebrick and Strauss 18 with partial pressure studies, and by Shelimova and Abrikosov 19 using microhardness tests. The congruently melting temperature of SnTe was reported by Biltz and Mecklenburg, 7 Kobayashi, 8 Brebrick, 11 Rakotomavo et al, 14 Kurosawa et al, 15 and Umeda et al 20 The eutectic reaction in the SnTe-Te portion was characterized by Biltz and Mecklenburg, 7 Kobayashi, 8 LeBouteiller et al, 13 Rakotomavo et al, 14 and Kurosawa et al, 15 where the invariant temperature and composition were reported. The enthalpies and entropies of mixing for the liquid phase were calorimetrically characterized by Rakotomavo et al, 14 Nakamura et al, 21 and Blachnik and Gather.…”

The relative enthalpies for the SnTe compound, defined with respect to the enthalpy value at 300 K, were calorimetrically determined by Blachnik et al 25 and Medzhidov and Rasulov.…”

Calculation method of free enthalpy of liquid phase using data of phase diagram application to Pd–Ge and Pt–Ge

“…The measurement of the excess free enthalpy of liquid Sn-Te was the subject of several works [23][24][25][26]. We have taken into account in the calculation of the free enthalpy, by the above method, of the equilibrium between the solid compound SnTe and the liquid and between pure Sn and the liquid.…”

Thermodynamic Optimization of the Ternary Ga-Sn-Te System Using Modified Quasichemical Model

“…Brebrick and Strauss [62] measured the partial pressure of Te 2 over SnTe and determined the liquidus temperature near the SnTe region. Rakotomavo et al [63] and Le Bouteiller et al [64] determined the liquidus temperature using EMF measurements and DTA analysis. Rakotomavo et al [63] reported Eutectic temperature 507±1 K on Sn rich side and 673 ± 1 K on Te rich side based upon DTA measurements.…”
