Cd-In (cadmium-indium)

  • Published:
Journal of Phase Equilibria

Abstract

The assessed coefficients agree extremely well with existing experimental data. The liquid, fee, bet, and cph phases of the Cd-In system are satisfactorily represented by Redlich-Kister polynomial expressions to describe the Gex. G^In is best represented as a Wagner-Schottky-type, two sublattice phase where the defects are antistructure atoms, i.e., (Cd, In)o.75(In, Cd)o.25-With these descriptions, the resulting optimized coefficients for the Gex expressions reproduce the known experimental phase diagram within experimental error. There is also excellent agreement between the measured and calculated thermodynamic quantities.
