Abstract

The effective heat of formation model enables heats of formation to be calculated as a function of concentration. By choosing the effective concentration at the growth interface to be that of the liquidus minimum, the model correctly predicL. first phase formation for 14 binary systems for which experimental data was found, except for the Au-Cu system which does not have a well-defined minimum on the liquidus curve.
