Abstract
After an experimental study of its phase equilibria by DTA and XRD and thermody namic properties by direct synthesis calorimetry, the Ge-Ru system has been numerically assessed with help of the program Nancy Un. The experimental enthalpies of formation are: Ge0.6Ru0.4:δf H(1173K) =-34.8 (±1.0) kj/mol-atoms Geo.5Ruo.5:δf H(1173K) = -28.7 (±13) kj/mol-atoms The comparison between computation and experimental results leads to new ideas about this system. The liquid phase cannot be described perfectly with a polynomial expansion to the third power, and it seems that associations could explain this behavior.
