Abstract

By DTA and x-ray diffraction the phase relations in the pseudobinary system In-CuInS2 have been investigated. CuInS2 hs a melting point of 1090° C and within this system there is a broad region of liquid immiscibility. A four phase invariant reaction exists at 633° C which is of the form: L2 = L1+ CuInS2 + InS.
