Using phase field simulations, it is possible to simulate the dynamics and morphology of immiscible liquids/solids appearing at the miscibility gap of any system. These simulations may also be used to determine the asymptotic compositions of the fluids for a given Gibbs energy. Even more, it is known that different parameters of the excess Gibbs energy of a certain phase may exhibit different asymptotic morphol...
A thermodynamic assessment of the Bi–Sn–Zn ternary system was carried out using the CALPHAD approach along with thermodynamic descriptions from new assessments of the Bi–Sn and Bi–Zn systems. Selected experimental data from the literature and our own work were also used. New sets of optimized thermodynamic parameters were obtained that lead to a very good fit between the calculated and e...
A previous study on Cu–Li–Mg system pointed out the existence of Cu8Li2Mg15, with an orthorhombic structure. The authors of the present paper also detected the existence of a ternary phase similar to the one mentioned. Due to some doubts on the phase’s structure, a study of Cu–Li–Mg was focused in an area near to the composition of that phase. SEM/EDS measurements of the phasesR...
Lattice parameters, coefficients of thermal expansion and mass density were determined by means of X-ray powder diffraction between 30 and 180 ºC (or 240 ºC - depending on samples' composition). Rietveld refinement was performed in order to obtain phases' lattice parameters at each temperature. The Panalytical X´Pert Pro MPD was used for room temperature X-ray diffraction experiments (RTXRD) with bulk sam...
The binary BiSn was studied by means of SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy)/EDS (Energy-Dispersive solid state Spectrometry), DTA(Differential Thermal Analysis)/DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) and RT-XRD (Room Temperature X-Ray Diffraction) in order to clarifydiscrepancies concerning the Bi reported solubility in (Sn). It was found that (Sn) dissolves approximately 10 wt% of Bi at the eutectic temperatur...
