Ag-Ge (Silver-Germanium) R.W. Olesinski and G.J. Abbaschian The equilibrium phases of the Ge-Ag system are (1) the liquid, L; (2) the solid solution, (Ge), with negligible solubility of Ag; and (3) the terminal solid solution, (Ag), with a maximum solubility of 9.6 at.% Ge at the eutectic temperature (651 C). The solid solubility of Ag in (Ge) is retrograde, with a maximum of 0.009 at.% Ag at about 800 C [62Kos]. The assessed phase diagram, which is a simple eutectic, is based on the experimental data of [29Bri], [36Mau], [40Owe], and [62Kos]. There is good agreement between the experimentally determined liquidus and the liquidus obtained by thermodynamic optimization of the enthalpy of mixing data of [ 83Has]. Independently, [88Che] assessed the Ag-Ge phase diagram thermodynamically. A metastable cph phase occurs in rapidly solidified alloys [60Duw, 61Kle, 64Mos]. The lower limit of the melt composition required for the formation of this phase is around 15 at.% Ge, and its homogeneity range is estimated to be 77 to 80 at.% Ag [77Aga]. A tetragonal metastable phase was reported in splat-cooled alloys containing 79 at.% Ag [69Ram], but its identification remains rather uncertain. Also, rapid quenching of super-heated alloys resulted in extension of the solid solubility of Ge in (Ag) to around 20 at.% Ge [77Aga]. The composition of (Ge) can be extended to 5 at.% Ag in crystalline films obtained at 450 C and to about 10 at.% Ag in films crystallized upon heating of the amorphous films at the same temperature. Studies of splat-cooled samples by [77Aga] showed that, in an alloy containing 77.5 at.% Ag, small amounts of an amorphous phase were formed apart from the cph phase. 29Bri: T.R. Briggs, R.O.
