Homogeneity range of -phase Zn4 Sb3

The -phase of Zn4 Sb3 compound has been examined by the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron-probe micro analysis (EPMA) on three ingots prepared, respectively, by gradient freeze (GF), Bridgman (BR) and solid-state synthesis (SSS) with different starting compositions. It is found that the ho...

Description
Summary:The -phase of Zn4 Sb3 compound has been examined by the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron-probe micro analysis (EPMA) on three ingots prepared, respectively, by gradient freeze (GF), Bridgman (BR) and solid-state synthesis (SSS) with different starting compositions. It is found that the homogeneity range of the -phase is narrow within 0.20at.% Zn irrespective of different preparation methods and starting compositions.
