Thermodynamic investigation in In–Sb, Sb–Sn and In–Sb–Sn liquid systems

Abstract

Using a molten salt method, EMF measurements have been obtained for In–Sb, Sb–Sn and In–Sb–Sn alloys. New DSC experiments on Sb–Sn system gave a confirmation of the proposed Sb–Sn equilibrium phase diagram. A thermodynamic description of the ternary liquid in fair agreement with the experimental results has been obtained from the geometrical Muggianu approach.
