Supplemental Literature Review: Section III

Cr-Ga (Chromium-Gallium) H. Okamoto

The Cr-Ga phase diagram in [Massalski2] was redrawn from [1972Bor] (dashed lines in Fig. 1). [1999Gro] assessed the Cr-Ga system thermodynamically, but [2005Bel] noticed that the result was in disagreement with the experimental phase diagram of [1972Bor] particularly in the Cr-rich end. Therefore, [2005Bel] measured the enthalpies of formation for Cr3Ga and CrGa4, and reassessed the Cr-Ga system. The result is shown with solid lines in Fig. 1. The agreement between [1972Bor] and [2005Bel] is good except around the melting point of Cr. An unusual feature in this phase diagram is that Cr3Ga and Cr4Ga are off-stoichiometric. In particular, it is unlikely that the magnitude of the off-stoichiometry is the same for the two modifications of Cr3Ga, as shown in Fig. 1. Because off-stoichiometric line compounds are not so common in all

binary systems in [Massalski2], the Cr-Ga phase diagram may need further confirmation.
