Critical assessment and optimization of phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties of RE-Zn systems - Part II - Y-Zn, Eu-Zn, Gd-Zn, Tb-Zn, Dy-Zn, Ho-Zn, Er-Zn, Tm-Zn, Yb-Zn and Lu-Zn

All available phase diagram and thermodynamic data for the Y-Zn, Eu-Zn, Gd-Zn, Tb-Zn, Dy-Zn, Ho-Zn, Er-Zn, Tm-Zn, Yb-Zn and Lu-Zn systems have been collected and critically assessed. Optimized model parameters for the thermodynamic properties of all phases have been obtained. Trends in the properties of the rare earth (RE)-Zn systems as one traverses the rare earth series have been exploited for purposes of estimating missing data and for checking existing data for consistency.
