Thermal analysis and thermodynamic prediction of phase equilibria in the ternary Au-Ga-Sb system

Phase transition temperatures of the selected samples with compositions along isopleths: GaSb-AuGa2, GaSb-AuGa, Au-GaSb, Sb-AuGa, GaSb-Au0.3333Sb0.6667 and Ga-Au0.5Sb0.5 were measured using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Experimentally determined phase transition temperatures were compared with the results of thermodynamic calculation. Also, predicted phase equilibria at room temperature were compared with the literature experimental data
