PHASE EQUILIBRIA IN THE TlTe-Tl9ErTe6 SYSTEM

Phase equilibria in the TlTe–Tl9ErTe6 system were experimentally studied using differential thermal analysis, powder X-ray diffraction. The system was shown to be non-quasibinary due to the incongruent nature of the melting of both starting compounds, but stable under the solidus. Limited solid solutions (5 mol%) based on Tl9ErTe6 are revealed in the system
