Abstract

Nanometer-sized intermetallic Mg-Ni and Mg-Cu compound powders were prepared by a physical vapor deposition method (arc discharge) and characterized by means of x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Based on an empirical specific heat equation, the effective heat of formation and its temperature dependence were calculated to explain phase formation in nanoscale powders of the binary Mg-Ni and Mg-Cu systems. It is shown that theoretic calculations are in good agreement with the experimental observations.
