Abstract
By the methods of DTA, XRD, MSA, as well as by measuring the microhardness and determining the density of the alloys, the CuTe–As2Te3 system was studied and a phase diagram was constructed. The system state diagram is of the eutectic type and it is characterized by one chemical compound of Cu3As4Te9 composition. Compounds Cu3As4Te9 melts incongruently at 3200C. Solid solutions based on As2Te3 reaches 8 mol %, and based on CuTe solid solutions are practically not installed. Cu3As4Te9 and As2Te3 form an eutectic composition of 45 mol % As2Te3 and temperature 2650C. The results of X-ray phase analysis have shown that the Сu3As4Te9 compounds is crystallized in the tetragonal syngony with lattice parameters: a = 13.86, c = 18.05 Å, Z = 9, ρpyk. = 6.96 g/cm3, ρrent. = 7.06 g/cm3
