As. Bolgar et al., ENTHALPY OF GD5SI3, GD5SI4, GDSI, AND GDSI1.88 SILICIDES IN THE TEMPERATURE-RANGE OF 298.15-2200 K - ENTHALPY OF MELTING, High temperature, 34(4), 1996, pp. 535-540
The enthalpy of Gd5Si3, Gd5Si4, GdSi, and GdSi1.88 silicides is measur
ed for the first time by the method of mixtures in the temperature ran
ge 300-2230 K. The temperatures, enthalpies, and entropies of the melt
ing of the silicides being examined, as well as those of polymorphous
transformation of disilicide, are determined. The temperature dependen
ces of enthalpy are derived from the experimental data and are recomme
nded for practical application.
