AN X-RAY ANALYSIS OF THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE THALLIUM-TIN ALLOYS

Abstract
An analysis of the crystal structure of thallium-tin alloys was carried out. It was found that the tin lattice constant had a maximum value at the eutectic point (42.5% thallium), while the superconducting curve showed a cusp-shaped minimum at this point and a peak at the solubility boundary. When tin was added to thallium a change from α to β-thallium was observed. This change is similar to that already noted in other alloys of thallium.
