Abstract

Phase relations in the Pt-GdPt portion of the system have been determined at 1100 K by X-ray and microscopic examination of quenched samples equilibrated for 610 ks. Five compounds have been identified; GdPt5, `GdPt3', GdPt2, Gd3Pt4 and GdPt. The phase GdPt3 with AuCu3 type structure has not been reported earlier. The compound GdPt3 is nonstoichiometric with a homogeneity range extending from 23 to 28 mol% Gd. The phase GdPt2 has a narrower nonstoichiometric range varying from 32 to 33 mol% Gd. The relative partial Gibbs' energy of Gd in the two-phase fields has been determined in the temperature range 925-1125 K using solid state galvanic cells incorporating single crystal CaF2 as the solid electrolyte and an equimolar mixture of Gd + GdF3 as the reference electrode. The Gibbs' energy formation of the intermetallic phases per mol has been derived from these measurements: Gd0.17Pt0.83:ΔGM = -60650+1.30 T(±80) J/mol Gd0.23Pt0.77:ΔGM = -78220+1.81 T(±180) J/mol Gd0.28Pt0.72:ΔGM = -91686+2.077 T(±290) J/mol Gd0.32Pt0.68:ΔGM = -94750-2.53 T(±300) J/mol Gd0.33Pt0.67:ΔGM = -96135-2.11 T(±310) J/mol Gd0.43Pt0.57:ΔGM = -103575-1.31 T(±360) J/mol Gd0.50Pt0.50:ΔGM = -104000+0.80 T(±380) J/mol
