Description
Summary:Isotherms of the T–x–y–z projection of the p–T–x–y–z phase diagram for the system Cd–Ge–Mn–As have been constructed by a topologic representation of phase states using fragmentary experimental data. In the absence of melt (below 320°C), 18 stable equilibria involving four crystalline phases were found to exist. For limited chalcopyrite solid solutions (Cd,Ge,Mn)As 2 , eight crystalline phases affecting its cationic composition have been isolated, namely, Cd 3 As 2 , CdAs 2 , GeAs, GeAs 2 , Ge, MnAs, MnGeAs 2 , and As. The (Cd,Ge,Mn)As 2 homogeneity area has been shown to be a 14-vertex nonahedron, and the transformation of the (Cd,Ge,Mn)As 2 polyhedron upon the appearance of melt has been considered. A model of the primary crystallization polyhedron has been presented for limited solid solutions (Cd,Ge,Mn)As 2 in equilibrium with the saturated vapor.
