Abstract

We determined the compositional dependence of thermodynamic factor in the V3Ga phase using CALPHAD-based study for which the Thermocalc software was utilized. Further, we calculated the tracer diffusion coefficients for the individual components in the grown V3Ga phase in a binary V–Ga system using Darken’s–Manning equation. We also examined the importance of partial molar volume of components towards the behaviour of tracer diffusion of different components in V3Ga.
