Ternary phase equilibria in the (Cr, Mo, W)-In-P systems at 600 degree C

Solid phase equilibria between the group VI transition metals, indium and phosphorus were determined at 600 degree C at ambient pressure. The phase equilibria were studied using X-ray powder diffraction techniques. Interest was focused on the equilibria including the technologically important optoelectronic material InP. The elements and compounds forming equilibria with InP at 600 degree C are summarized.
