The phase formation is studied from thermodynamic data and CalPhaD modeling. Applying a high-temperature gas-balance a formation pathway for IrPTe is studied from the elements and the binary parent compounds IrTe2 and IrP2. The obtained paracostibite (CoSbS) type structure contains rarely occurring heteroatomic P-Te dumbbells. The stability of IrPTe and the found structure is studied from DFT calculations with respect to the elements, IrTe2 and IrP2, and possible polymorphs. Probable metastable modifications with XY dumbbells (as known for isoelectronic compounds like CoAsS) are obtained from systematic DFT modelling. Phase transitions are predicted form the equation of states (EOS). According to its electronic band structure IrPTe is predicted as small gap (Eg = 0.5 eV) semiconductor.}, language = {en} } @misc{SchoeneichHohmannSchmidtetal., author = {Sch{\"o}neich, Michael and Hohmann, Andrea and Schmidt, Peer and Pielnhofer, Florian and Bachhuber, Frederik and Weihrich, Richard and Osters, Oliver and K{\"o}pf, Marianne and Nilges, Tom}, title = {Element allotropes and polyanion compounds of pnicogenes and chalcogenes: stability, mechanisms of formation, controlled synthesis and characterization}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Kristallographie - Crystalline Materials}, volume = {232}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Kristallographie - Crystalline Materials}, number = {1-3}, issn = {2194-4946}, doi = {10.1515/zkri-2016-1966}, pages = {91 -- 105}, abstract = {The application of the EnPhaSyn (theoretical Energy diagrams, experimental Phase formation, Synthesis and characterisation) concept is reviewed with respect to prediction of structures and stability of element allotropes and compound polymorphs, their phase formation and transition processes, and their directed synthesis, respectively. Therein, the relative energetical stability (En) of target compounds and possible decomposition are determined from quantum chemical DFT calculations. Phase formation and transition (Pha) is probed by a gas balance method, developed as high temperature gas balance concept. It helped to study the synthesis and stability range of several compounds experimentally. Applications of the concept and synthesis principles (Syn) of non-equilibrium phases are presented for allotropes of P, As, P1-xAsx, as well as binary and ternary compounds including the Zintl and Laves like phases IrPTe, NiP2, CoSbS, NiBiSe, Li0.2CdP2, Cu3CdCuP10, and Cd4Cu7As.}, language = {en} }
