Description

The erbium-hydrogen (Er-H) binary system has been investigated experimentally.New solubility limits and extensions of the homogeneity domains have been measured, using several experimental techniques,and high purity materials. A thermodynamic assessment of the system using the Calphad method has been performed.The calculated phase diagram shows a fair agreement with the experimental data. Both experimental and calculated phase diagrams obtained differ significantly from the one available in the literature. (authors)
