Abstract
After a brief review of previous investigations on the thermodynamics of Gallium systems the factors which determine the thermodynamic properties of Gallium alloys were discussed. It was shown that the thermodynamic properties of liquid alloys with unmixing tendencies are predominately determined by the atom radii difference of the alloy partners. Expected effects prevail in liquid alloys with compound tendencies which correlate with individual bonding relations. The thermodynamic properties of solid solutions, Hume- Rothcry phases and B-phases with defect structures were also analyzed in a similiar way as the liquid alloys. The reduction of the stability of Gallium alloys with close-packed structures as a result of the orthorhombic crystal structure of a-Ga is relatively small.
