Use of chemical potential of a compound in potential phase diagrams

Potential phase diagrams, where the chemical potential of a compound is used as an axis, do not obey the usual rules for potential phase diagrams.

More Information
Summary:Potential phase diagrams, where the chemical potential of a compound is used as an axis, do not obey the usual rules for potential phase diagrams. Examples are presented in order to help the interpretation of such diagrams. The thermodynamic background of the special properties is examined. ► You can use the chemical potential of any component in a potential phase diagram. ► Be careful if you choose a compound as a component. ► One-phase fields may overlap.
