Abstract

The powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis and the electromotive force (emf) measurements have been used to investigate the Sb–Te–S system in the Sb₂S₃-Sb₂Te₃-Te-S composition region at 300–450 K temperatures interval. Relative partial molar functions of antimony in alloys have been calculated and obtained data have been used to get self-consistent sets of the standard Gibbs free energy, standard enthalpy, and standard entropy of the Sb₂S₃ and Sb₂Te₂S compounds, as well as the Sb₂Te_2,4S_0,6 and Sb₂Te_2,7S_0,3solid solutions. The data obtained for Sb₂S₃ have been compared to the ones available in the literature. Thermodynamic functions of the Sb₂Te₂S compound, as well as, the Sb₂Te_2,4S_0,6 and Sb₂Te_2,7S_0,3solid solutions have been determined for the first time.
