Abstract

The results of the comparative prediction of thermodynamic properties for Ga-Zn-Sn system are 
presented in this paper. Two thermodynamic predicting models were used for the calculation – one 
symmetrical (Muggianu), one assymetrical (Toop) model and general solution model. The calculations 
were done for different sections in examined ternary system - from gallim, tin and zinc corner, in a 
wide temperature range 600-1000K. The excess Gibbs energies of mixing and activities of all 
componets in the Ga-Sn-Zn system were obtained and presented through iso-lines. Comparison with 
available literature data was done, showing good mutual agreement.
