Ag – Ca (Silver – Calcium)

Gilda Zanicchi, Rinaldo Marazza

Literature Data

The literature data up to 1983 are given in the review by [1988Bar]. The assessed Ag-Ca equilibrium diagram is based on the data of [1969Ale] for compositions between 0–50 at.% Ca and on the work of [1970Pas] as confirmed by [1971Cam] for compositions greater than 50 at.% Ca. The diagram is characterized by a lack of solid solution at either end. Subsequently [1995Sny] determined the crystal structure of Ca₂Ag₇ by single crystal X-ray diffraction (see Table 1). The compound previously described as Ca₃Ag₈ [1964Cal] was demonstrated to be a compound stabilized by nitrogen (Ag₁₆Ca₆N) [1995Sny...
