Literature Data

Since the last assessment of the Al-Tm system by [Mas2], no attempts were performed to complete its phase diagram. Recent experimental investigations concern the TmAl₂ compound only (Table 1). Lattice parameter of this compound has been measured by X-ray diffraction [1994Rao]. Experimental thermodynamic data of TmAl₂ are available in [1985Col, 1986Sch]. Theoretical data are also available for this system. [1995Col] estimated the enthalpy of formation of TmAl₂ using semiempirical formulation and tight-binding approximation and [1996Yif...
