Phase equilibria in the Tl2Te-Tl5Te3-Tl9SmTe6 system were experimentally studied by means of differential thermal analysis, powder X-ray diffraction technique and microhardness measurements applied to equilibrated alloys. Several isopleth sections and isothermal section at 300 K, as well as projections of the liquidus and solidus surfaces, were constructed based on the experimental data. It was established that homogeneity area of solid solutions with Tl5Te3 structure (δ-phase) occupied more than 90% of the concentration triangle. A narrow area of solid solutions (α-phase) based on Tl2Te was detected.
