Abstract
The optimized thermodynamic data for tha GaTe binary system have been obtained by the computer operated least squares method from measured data. The Gibbs free energy of the liquid phase was modeled as a twosublattice model for ionic melt after Hillert et al. The intermediate phases, GaTe, Ga 3Te 4, Ga 2Te 3 and Ga 2Te 5, were treated as stoichiometric compounds and were expressed as a ordinary two-sublattice model. A strong tendency for chemical short range order in the liquid state at the compositon close to Ga 2Te 3 and its temperature dependence were confirmed by calculated results. The experimental thermodynamic and phase diagram data were well reproduced by the optimized thermodynamic data. Parameters describing the Gibbs free energies of the all the phases used in this calculation and the calculated phase diagram and thermodynamic functions are presented compared with experimental data.
