Abstract

E.M.F. of a galvanic cell with the solid electrolyte (ZrO2+CaO) was measured to determine the activities of gallium in the temperature range of 800∼1000°C and the composition range of 5∼58 at%Ga for solid Ni-Ga alloys, and thermodynamic functions were derived from the results. The cells used were as follows:(This article is not displayable. Please see full text pdf.) Activites of both components showed large negative deviations from Raoult’s law; Activity changes with composition in nickel-rich α-solid solution and in the α′(Ni3Ga)-phase were small, but very large in the β(NiGa)-phase. Relative integral molar free energies of formation showed minimum values at the stoichiometric composition NiGa. Intergral enthalpies and entropies of formation showed relatively large negative values.
