The germanium-ruthenium system

  • Published:
Journal of Phase Equilibria

Abstract

A revised version of the germanium-ruthenium (Ge-Ru) equilibrium phase diagram was obtained by differential thermal analysis (DTA), x-ray diffraction (XRD), and microprobe investigations. The two compounds, GeRu (melting point, 1510 ± 5 °C) and Ge3Ru2 (melting point, 1551 ± 5 °C), are congruently melting and form a eutectic at 1488 ± 3 °C (47 at. % Ru). The solid solubility of Ge in (Ru) is negligible at room temperature, and that of Ru in (Ge) is not noticeable.
