Phase Diagram Compilations
The MSIT Phase Diagram Center has compiled a comprehensive overview of the past publications and it continues to monitor current and future publications.
These comprehensive compilations provide the information base for critical evaluations, where for a specific system all data ever published are needed.
The MSIT Compilations: Links to Literature, Research Results and Reference Diagrams are accessed via the periodic table contained in the interface & viewing software MSIT® Connect, which automatically includes some free, fully interactive, sample documents.
Links to Literature
Now covering over 30,000 systems with more than 220,000 citations, making the link between a material system and all the publications where data are reported, for each individual system! MSIT continually reads & analyses the world literature and selects all publications with information relevant to materials constitution or related properties, for all inorganic systems (except salts):
- unaries
- binaries
- ternaries
- quaternaries
plus - higher order component systems
The Bibliographies cover practically all relevant publications from pre-1900 up to the present, providing a valuable and constantly growing information source. Element combinations not listed within the category "Links to Literature" most likely have never been studied.
Research Results
Documents in the category Research Results are extended extracts from the literature or original short publications made by individual authors - all sorted after materials systems.
Each document under Research Results reports data on one materials system only. Therefore one journal article may have generated several entries under Research Results, one for each element combination reported in the paper.
All information is presented as published, i.e. not assessed in the light of other data known, contrary to the binary and ternary MSIT Evaluation Reports.
