Phase diagram investigation and proposition of a thermodynamic evaluation of the Tin-Selenium system

  • Published:
Journal of Phase Equilibria

Abstract

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements provide phase diagram data in the whole composition range. From the results and literature data, an optimization and calculation study was done to generate the thermodynamic functions of each phase.
