Abstract

The interaction between the components of the As2S3-TlSe system has been studied using diffeential thermal analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, microstructure examination, and microhardness and density measurements. Two new quaternary compounds, TlAs2S3Se and Tl3As2S3Se3, are formed in the system. Both compounds may be prepared in a glassy state. They melt congruently at 350 and 280°C, respectively. The section As2S3-TlSe is a stable diagonal of the ternary reciprocal system As,Tl ‖ S, Se. The As2S3-base solid solution extends to 1.5 mol % TlSe. The extent of the TlSe-base solution is 5.2 mol % As2S3. Under slow cooling, the glass field in the system extends to 85 mol % TlSe; when the system is quenched to liquid nitrogen, the extent of the glass field is 100 mol % TlSe.
