The Ag-Al-Te evaluation report provides validated phase diagram information. All relevant literature, from 1900 up to the report publication is taken into account, both experimental work & thermodynamic calculations in support of the critical evaluations. Relevant data published later can be found in the MSIT Phase Diagram Center under Links to Literature.
The MSIT evaluation reports present consistent information all uniformly edited and often coordinated with the MSIT Binary Evaluation Program. Text, tables and diagrams are highly interactive and easy to navigate. 

The text parts of the reports justify decisions and conclusions taken in the evaluation process. Most of the knowledge on the materials constitution is given in : Phase Diagrams, Isothermal Sections, Polythermal Sections and -Projections, Phase Reactions, Reference Lists, Crystal Structure Tables, Thermodynamic Data, Reaction Schemes, Notes on Properties & Applications and other relevant information.
