The other approach, which so far has had the greater practical impact, is primarily empirical. The CALPHAD (from CALcnlated PHAse Diagrams) approach was pioneered by L. Kaufman, a more recent presentation is by Saunders and Miodownik The work of the CALPHAD group focuses on calculations based on thermochemical data such as those compiled by the Scientific Group Thermodata Europe (SGTE), the ASM NBS AUoy Phase Data Activity, PHACOMP (see above), and CALPHAD itself, but also uses the results of ab initio structural energy calcnlations for elements and compounds as these become available.

Data are taken from SGTE databases. The Scientific Group Thermodata Europe (SGTE) is a consortium of seven European centres engaged in the critical assessment and compilation of thermodynamic data for inorganic and metallurgical substances of all types.
