Seminal phase diagrams

The picture became more complete (but also much more complicated) through the seminal phase diagram determinations by Corbett in the third quarter of the twentieth century. These made clear that in a number of other systems, dihalides can be thermodynamically stable under certain conditions see Figure 2 for the system Pris/Pr. The picture... 

Following the seminal formulation of electrolytes based on carbonates by Tarascon and Guyomard, - a lot of effort had been made to modily those binary lithium ion electrolytes. Often, ternary, quaternary, and even higher order solvent systems were proposed, and the difficulty in constructing the phase diagrams for these systems increased dramatically... 

The modem era starts with the seminal paper by Suzuki [2] with the systematic observations on the stability of ovalbumin, the main protein component of egg white, and hemoglobin. These proteins show an elliptic stability phase diagram in the temperature-pressure plane. Nowadays it is well known that proteins in solution are marginally stable under conditions of high temperature and pressure. By contrast there is the observation that certain bacteria live under extreme temperature conditions and it is well known that bacteria can survive in the deepest parts of the ocean. 

In a seminal paper, Leibler [43] presented the first mean-field-like theory of the ODT transition and the phase diagram of block copolymer melts in the weak segregation limit. This work still is the basis for more elaborate theories [58-64] and for the discussion of recent experiments (e.g. [317-323]). As shown in Fig. 42, the quantitative details of the resulting predictions are still subject of current research, but nevertheless we try to sketch this theory here, since this derivation gives a good insight into the relevant physical aspects of this problem. 

The binary phase diagram nickel/tellurium as summarised by Lee and Nash [90LEE/NAS] shows a complex behaviour with six intermetallic solid phases. This diagram is essentially based on a seminal paper authored by Klepp and Komarek [72KLE/KOM]. The phases Pi, P2, P[ andNiTe2- t(cr) have variable stoichiometry. 

Nevertheless, numerous key components of the necessary experimental and theoretical foundation for understanding aqueous solubility of cocrystals have been provided by Rodrfguez-Homedo and coworkers. In several seminal papers, they have brought together invaluable information on solubility products, solubility complexation, and phase-solubility diagrams in order to provide cohesive models for explaining cocrystal solubility. These models indicate, for example, that (i) the aqueous solubility of a cocrystal AB is accurately described by the solubility...
