The objective of this review is to study the effect of minor alloying and impurity elements,
typically present in electronics manufacturing environment, on the interfacial reactions …

X-ray pure samples of the stannides RECuSn (RE= Sc, Y, La, Lu) were prepared by arc-
melting of the elements and subsequent annealing. The four stannides were investigated by …

A critical evaluation and optimization of all available phase diagrams and thermodynamic
data of the binary Sn–RE (RE= La, Ce, Pr, Nd and Sm) systems was conducted to obtain …

The interaction of the components in the Ho-Cu-Sn ternary system was investigated at 670 K
over the whole concentration range using X-ray diffraction and EPM analyses. Four ternary …

The new isostructural RCu5Sn compounds, where R= Y, Gd–Yb, were prepared and their
crystal structure was studied. These compounds crystallize in the CeCu6 structure type …

A critical evaluation and optimization of all available phase diagrams and thermodynamic
data of the binary Sn–RE (RE= Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Lu and Y) systems was conducted to …

The phase relationships of the Cu-Ti-Er ternary phase diagram at 773 K (500° C) were
investigated mainly by means of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron …

The formation and characterization of intermediate ternary phases formed in R–Me–Sn
systems (R= rare earth, Me= 3d-metal) are often studied within the framework of the …

The study of phase diagrams of metallic systems is an important step to determine the
relations of the components in equilibrium with neighboring phases, the homogeneity …

Phase diagrams of the RE (rare earth)-IV-VI systems are very important for the design of rare
earth doped diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs), but related information is very limited …
