Cr-Sb (Chromium-Antimony)
M. Venkatraman and J.P. Neumann
The assessed phase diagram for the Cr-Sb system is based on the experimental
data of [07Wil] and is essentially the same as that of [Hansen]. The diagram
is characterized by complete solubility in the liquid state and by the
presence of two intermediate phases-CrSb and CrSb2. CrSb has the hexagonal
NiAs-type structure, whereas CrSb2 has the orthorhombic FeS2(marcasite)-type
structure. The intermediate phase Cr3Sb2, reported by [41Mas], does not exist.
In the assessed diagram, the Cr liquidus curve is estimated; the curve given
by [07Wil] was adjusted to be consistent with the presently accepted value of
1863 C for the melting temperature of pure Cr [Melt]. The low melting
temperature of Cr, reported by [07Wil] as 1553 C, is undoubtedly due to the
low purity of the Cr used (~99 wt.%), as well as to the use of a nitrogen
atmosphere for the experiment. The effect of these factors on the phase
diagram can be expected to decrease with increasing Sb content; the melting
point of pure Sb, observed by [07Wil] at 630 C, is in very good agreement
with the accepted value of 630.755 C [Melt].
[72Spe] carried out rapid-quenching experiments of liquid Cr-Sb alloys
containing 88 to 94 at.% Sb. The resulting thin films showed, in addition to
the presence of the two equilibrium phases CrSb2 and (Sb), the appearance of a
metastable phase. According to the X-ray diffraction analysis of an alloy with
90 at.% Sb, this phase has a simple cubic aPo-type structure with a lattice
parameter a = 0.3074 nm.
[69Nag] studied the effect of hydrostatic pressure up to 150 kbar on the
lattice parameters of CrSb at room temperature. At 80 to 100 kbar, an anomaly
in the isothermal compressibility was observed; [69Nag] suggested that the
anomaly is related to the magnetic transition from the antiferromagnetic to
the paramagnetic state.
CrSb and CrSb2 are paramagnetic at elevated temperatures; they become
antiferromagnetic at lower temperatures. [82Rei] indicated a N‚el temperature
of 705 с 20 K. The variation of the N‚el temperature with the composition of
the CrSb phase has not been established. Studies in ternary systems have shown
that the substitution of Cr by Mn [82Rei], as well as the substitution of Sb
by Te [66Tak], lowers the N‚el temperature of CrSb.
Using neutron diffraction [70Hol], calorimetry [78All], and magnetic
susceptibility measurements [79Kje], values of 273 с 2 K, 274 с 0.5 K, and 274
K, respectively, were obtained for the N‚el temperatureof CrSb2. The
substitution of Cr by Fe lowers the N‚el temperature of CrSb2 [79Kje].
[56Abr] and [69Ada] measured the electrical conductivity of CrSb2 as a
function of temperature. They established that CrSb2 is a semiconductor with
an energy band gap of 0.16 eV [56Abr] or 0.14 eV [69Ada] at room temperature.
