Abstract

The purpose of this work was to determine the thermoelectric properties of the pseudobinary system . The compositions investigated were , , , , , and . X‐ray diffraction lattice parameter measurements and differential thermal analysis measurements established the existence of complete solid solubility between and . Both the lattice parameter and liquidus temperature show almost linear variation with composition in this system. The melting temperature of was found to be , while that of was found to be .
