The intermetallic phases in the Mg-Hg binary system, Mg3Hg, Mg5Hg2, Mg2Hg, Mg5Hg3, MgHg, and MgHg2, were described as stoichiometric compounds. Based on the reported experimental data and thermodynamic properties of the phase diagram, sets of self-consistent parameters describing all phases in the Ga-Hg and the Mg-Hg binary systems were obtained.展开更多
