Abstract

The effect of alloy components on the thermodynamic properties of f elements is studied on Zn‑containing alloys. The activity of lanthanum in the La–Zn, La–U–Zn, and La–U–Ga–Zn systems and the activity of uranium in the U–Zn system in the range 573–1073 K are determined. The effect of a second low-melting metal (gallium) and a second f element (uranium) on the activity of lanthanum in zinc-containing alloys is analyzed.
