Abstract: | In the frame of our systematic investigation on strongly interacting alloy systems, we have measured the molar enthalpy of formation, ΔHf, of liquid Ga + Te alloy at 1200 and 1238 K by direct reaction calorimetry, using a Calvet microcalorimeter. The enthalpy of formation, with reference to the pure liquid components, is negative over the whole range of mole fractions x and has a minimum at xTe ≈ 0.6. ΔHf(l, xTe = 0.61, 1200 K) = ?(38.8 ± 0.8) kJ mol?1. This is evidence for strong chemical interactions in the liquid phase with formation of Ga2Te3 clusters. No significant difference was noted between the enthalpies at 1200 and 1238 K. Comparison of the molar integral enthalpies and entropies of formation of liquid Me0.4IIITe0.6 alloys (MeIII Al, Ga, In, and Tl) shows that the stability of the Me2Te3 clusters decreases in the series Al > Ga > In > Tl. |
