Abstract
Electrode potentials at HgTe, CdTe and Hg 0.8Cd 0.2Te in 0.1 M KOH solution are measured at 20°C with reference to a saturated calomel electrode. A model for the interfacial electron transfer reaction in equilibrium is proposed. An analysis is presented to show that the alloying of HgTe and CdTe at low temperatures is non-ideal. The enthalpy of formation of the x = 0.2 alloy from the pure component phases in solid state at 20°C is found to be +2.1 kcal mol -1.
