Thermodynamic assessment of the Li-Sn (Lithium-Tin) system

The optimized descriptions of the phase diagram and thermodynamic properties of the Li-Sn system have been obtained from experimental thermodynamic and phase diagram data by means of the computer program THERMO-CALC based on the least squares method, using models for the Gibbs energy of individual phases. The system contains seven intermetallic compounds. A consistent set of thermodynamic parameters for each phase was derived. Optimized results and most of the experimental data are in good agreement.
