Critical evaluation of the thermodynamic properties of the cadmium-antimony system

Abstract

The phase diagram reported by HANSEN, ELLIOTT and SHUNK indicate a stable liquidus with CdSb phase formation exhibiting a small range of non-stoichiometry, and metastable compounds Cd3Sb2 and Cd4Sb3. The existence of these metastable compounds has recently been confirmed by HAYER who redetermined the phase diagram by differential thermal analysis.(...)
