摘要

Despite the potential of copper and silver halogen-containing argyrodites as environmentally friendly functional materials, phase equilibria in the corresponding systems remain virtually unstudied. In this study, phase equilibria in the quasi-ternary Ag2Se-AgI-GeSe2 system are investigated using differential thermal and X-ray phase analysis, as well as microhardness measurements. Solid-phase equilibria diagrams at 300 and 750 K, a liquidus surface projection, and several polythermal sections of the phase diagram are constructed. The primary crystallization fields of four phases, including ion-conducting solid solutions of the Ag8−xGeSe6−xIx (δ-phase), were determined. The presented polythermal sections of the phase diagram clearly demonstrate the processes of phase crystallization from the melt. The relatively large primary crystallization area of the δ-phase facilitates the growth of its single crystals with various compositions by directional solution-melt crystallization over a wide range of compositions and temperatures.
