Thermodynamic Optimization Of Tmcl3 -Acl (A = Na, K, Rb, Cs) Phase Diagrams

From the measured phase equilibria data and experimental thermochemical properties, the TmCl3-ACl (A = Na, K, Rb, Cs) phase diagrams were optimized and calculated using the CALPHAD technique. For describing the Gibbs energies of the liquid phase in these systems, the new modified quasichemical model in the pair-approximation for short-range ordering was used. A set of thermodynamic functions was optimized and gotten based on an interactive computer-assisted analysis. The calculated phase diagrams and thermodynamic data are self-consistent.
