Abstract
New measurements are reported on the solubility of germanium in liquid gallium, thallium, tin, arsenic, bismuth, cadmium and zinc, and the solubility of silicon in liquid indium, tin, lead, antimony, bismuth and zinc. The measurements of other workers are renewed, including those of the solubility of germanium and silicon in liquid copper, silver, gold and aluminum; of germanium in liquid indium, lead and antimony; and of silicon in liquid arsenic and nickel. All but two of the liquidus curves can be described within experimental error by a two-constant equation. The form of this equation suggests that the liquid solutions exhibit certain simple thermodynamic properties, and some evidence is cited indicating that the constants of this equation can be used to estimate the excess free energy of the solutions. Figures for the complete liquidus curves of these binary systems (T-x and log x−1/T) have not been included in this paper, but sets of these figures can be supplied upon request.
