ENERGETIC EFFECT IN LIQUID ANTIMONY-INDIUM ALLOYS

The complex formation model has been used to extract the atomic level interactions in liquid Sb-In alloys. The phase diagram, the concentrat ion fluctuations and the chemical short range order parameter indicate that the chemical complexes of the equiatomic composition (SbIn) exis t in the liquid phase. The nature of interactions between Sb, In and t he complexes (SbIn) in the liquid phase are attractive. The observed c oncentration dependent behaviour of activity, H-M, G(xs)S(xs) and Scc( 0) have been successfully explained.
