Abstract

The As–Te–I system has been investigated primarily by means of DTA, XRD analyses and EMF measurements with an arsenic electrode. The T–x diagram of the binary As–I system was accurately redefined and its phase diagram was constructed. A projection of the liquidus surface, an isothermal section at 300 K, and a series of polythermal sections of the phase diagram were constructed. The previously reported ternary compounds As 5Te 7I, As 4Te 5I 2 and As 8Te 7I 5 were confirmed to be equilibrium phases; the positions of phase areas with their participation were established. Areas of primary crystallization of phases, types and coordinates of the invariant equilibria on the T–x–y diagram were determined. From the X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis, the crystallographic parameters of As 4Te 5I 2 and As 8Te 7I 5 were determined. From the EMF measurements, the partial molar functions of arsenic ( Δ G ¯ , Δ H ¯ , Δ S ¯ ) as well as standard integral thermodynamic functions of ternary compounds were calculated.
