Abstract:
The enthalpies of mixing of liquid Gd-Si (1770±5 K) and Al-Gd (1760±5 K) alloys have been measured by high-temperature isoperibolic calorimetry. The calorimetric study of the gadolinium-based liquid alloys demonstrates the great negative enthalpies of mixing, which is associated with the contribution of GdSi and GdAl2 intermetallides into the liquid-state thermodynamics. The comparison of obtained results with literature data has been performed. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
