Abstract

The thermodynamic optimization of the Ho–Sn binary system was carried out with the help of CALculation of PHAse Diagram (CALPHAD) method. Ho5Sn3, Ho5Sn4, Ho11Sn10, Ho4Sn5, HoSn2, Ho2Sn5, and HoSn3 have been treated as stoichiometric compounds while a solution model has been used for the description of the liquid and HCP_A3 phases. A consistent set of the thermodynamic parameters leading to a reasonable agreement between the calculated results and literature data was obtained.
