N-Pu

In-Pu (Indium-Plutonium) H. Okamoto The assessed In-Pu diagram is based on the experimental data of [65Ell], with review of the work of [58Boc]. The solubility of Pu in (In) must be very small, because the L/[L + In3Pu] liquidus trend indicates that the L = (In) + In3Pu eutectic composition is essentially 0 at.% Pu. The maximum solubility of In in (ePu) is 1.5 at.% at the L + InPu3 = (ePu) peritectic temperature of 676 с 5 C [65Ell]. The homogeneity range of (d›Pu) is small, because it was absent in a 0.5 at.% In alloy [65Ell]. The solvus of (dPu) in the assessed diagram was determined by [65Ell] based on the lattice parameter data. [67Hoc] speculated a larger solubility limit of about 4 at.% In. No indications of significant solubility of In in (gPu), (bPu), or (aPu) were found [65Ell]. The phase boundaries of h in the assessed diagram may not be precise, because they are based on a limited number of X-ray data points. [67Hoc] considered InPu3 to undergo a polymorphic transition at 678 C. Because no additional information is available, this feature is not shown in the assessed diagram; however, further confirmation is needed. 56Cof: A.S. Coffinberry and M.B.
