STUDY OF THE CU3AS4TE9-CRASTE3 SECTION OF THE AS2Te3-Cr2Te3-CuTe quasi-ternary system

Abstract

Chemical interactions in the system were studied by methods of physicochemical analysis (DTA, XRD, MSA, determination of density and microhardness) and its phase diagram was constructed. It was found that the phase diagram of the system is a non-quasi-binary section of the quasi-ternary system As2Te3-Cr2Te3-CuTe. At room temperature in the system of solid solutions based on Cu3As4Te9 reaches - 5 mol. % CrAsTe3. The region of the solid solution based on the CrAsTe3 compound has not been established in practice. The dependence of the microhardness and density of alloys of the Cu3As4Te9-CrAsTe3 system on the composition has been investigated.
