On the liquidus curve for GaN

Abstract
A Quasi-Chemical Equilibrium approach was used to discuss the experimental results of three phase (Ga-GaN-N2) equilibrium conditions for the temperature range 1200-1580°C and pressure 0. 1-1. 45 GPa. The best fitting was obtained for the melting temperature of 2531 K which is in reasopable agreement with the value of 2791 K calculated by Van Vechten1.
