Using FactSage, we computationally calculate the fusion entropy of congruent silicates in the CaO-MgO-SiO₂ system. Synthesized ternary silicates confirm our theory by highlighting correlations between lower/higher fusion entropy (for congruent) and configurational entropy (for incongruent) silicates, leading to red/blue shifts in PL emission wavelengths. In binary silicate systems, we observe an inverse correlation between PL emission wavelengths and fusion entropy of congruent silicates or pseudo-congruent silicates like MgSiO₃, whose solid-liquid decomposition temperature is close to its melting point. Furthermore, the non-ideal liquid phase entropy of incongruent silicates positioned between congruent CaMgSi₂O₆ (Pyroxene) and congruent Ca₂MgSi₂O₇ (Akermanite) in the MgO-CaO-SiO₂ ternary phase diagram comprehensively explains diverse PL emission wavelengths. Beyond its scholarly impact, this work expands perspectives in lighting and photonic research, opening an exciting frontier in entropy-lighting research and enabling predictions of host chemical composition and tunable PL emission wavelengths, particularly relevant to LED technologies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":9436,"journal":{"name":"Calphad-computer Coupling of Phase Diagrams and Thermochemistry","volume":"87 ","pages":"Article 102740"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142164925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, our IPDA investigations reveal unexpected discrepancies among neighbouring metallic borides, and predict point defect structures at odds with earlier pictures commonly employed hitherto, which suggests that many complex compounds may suffer from inadequate phenomenological modellings. Furthermore, we show that far-reaching conclusions on phase stability can be drawn only if the scope of analysis is broadened up to encompass global multiphase IPDA-based thermodynamics, a task which constitutes the core and the methodological originality of this work.
