Intermetallics from cadmium self-flux reactions
Abstract Cadmium metal exhibits, in comparison with other metals, a low melting point of T = 594 K and exhibits a comparatively high vapor pressure. It therefore can be broadly used as a reactive flux medium for the growth of intermetallic phases. The results of phase-analytical investigations leading to new compounds, and of selected crystal growth experiments for direction dependent physical property studies are reviewed.
