Abstract
The phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties of the Cu-R (R: Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm) systems are reevaluated on the basis of all available experimental data, including the enthalpies of mixing reported recently. The Redlich-Kister polynomial with two or three terms is used to describe the excess Gibbs energies of liquid phases in the Cu-R systems. All intermediate phases are treated as stoichiometric, and their Gibbs energies of formation are optimized. Based on the optimized thermodynamic parameters, phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties of the Cu-R systems are calculated and compared with the experimental results. The optimized parameters seem to be in good agreement with the experimental data and might represent the regularity and systematic variation of these systems.
