Thermal Properties of CuGa2 Phase in Inert Atmosphere

Article Preview

Abstract:

Thermal decomposition of copper digallide was studied using experimental (thermal analysis) and theoretical (thermodynamic modeling) methods. The temperatures of CuGa2 incongruent melting are in satisfactory agreement between experimental and calculated values. Small differences with the phase diagram can be explained by minor non-stoichiometry of the alloy samples. The experimental studies of thermal diffusivity and thermal expansion of CuGa2 were performed in the temperature range 298-500 K. The heat conductivity coefficient was further calculated using literary data concerning the density and heat capacity of the copper digallide.
