Thermodynamic modeling of Mg–Ca–Ce system by combining first-principles and CALPHAD method

Thermodynamic assessments of the Ca–Ce and Ce–Mg binary systems were carried out by means of the CALPHAD approach complemented by first-principles calculations. The thermodynamic description for the Mg–Ca–Ce system was obtained by combining the derived databases of the Ca–Ce and Ce–Mg systems in the present work with that of the Ca–Mg system from the literature.
