Phase studies on the quasi-binary thallium(I) telluride–zinc telluride system

The phase diagram for the quasi-binary Tl2Te–ZnTe system has been established from the results of phase studies by common thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction. Numerical values for the phase transition temperatures at different alloy compositions within the whole concentration range were obtained. They have been listed in a table that can be used in future by other authors in any computational treatment of the system. Our diagram appears to be quite different compared to those constructed earlier by other authors employing differential thermal analysis as their main experimental method.
