46. Reference contains speculative mention of a CsGa binary with the F d 3 ̄ m NaTl-type structure. Our calculations indicate, however, that it is thermodynamically unfavorable with respect to its constituent elements (positive standard enthalpy of formation Δ H) as well as elastically and vibrationally unstable. Via a search for other candidates we identified an orthorhombic C m c a (No. 64) KTl-type CsGa structure that has a negative Δ H (and lowest of those investigated), is elastically stable, and whose phonon spectrum contains no anomalies. This structure is thermodynamically unstable, however, against decomposition to Cs metal and the known Cs 8 Ga 11 phase, which is consistent with the absence of a CsGa binary in the available Cs-Ga phase diagrams.
