Abstract

The phase equilibria in the Cu-Sb-S-I quaternary system were studied by differential thermal analysis and X-ray phase analysis methods in the CuI-SbSI-SbI3 concentration intervals. The boundary quasi-binary section CuI-SbSI, 2 internal polythermal sections of the phase diagram, as well as, the projection of the liquidus surface were constructed. Primary crystallisation areas of phases, types, and coordinates of non- and monovariant equilibria were determined. Limited areas of solid solutions based on the SbSI (b-phase) and high-temperature modifications of the CuI (α1- and α2- phases) were revealed in the system. The formation of the α1 and α2 phases is accompanied by a decrease in the temperatures of the polymorphic transitions of CuI and the establishment of metatectic (3750C) and eutectoid (2800C) reactions. It was also shown, that the system is characterised by the presence of a wide immiscibility region that covers a significant part of the
liquidus surface of the CuI and SbSI based phases
