The relative stabilities of the compounds in the binary Pd-Si system were assessed using first-principles calculations and experimental methods. Calculations of lattice parameters and enthalpy of formation indicate that \({\rm Pd}_{5}{\rm Si}{\text{-}}{\mu }\), \({\rm Pd}_{9}{\rm Si}_2{\text{-}}{\alpha }\), \({\rm Pd}_3{\rm Si}{\text{-}}{\beta }\), \({\rm Pd}_2{\rm Si}{\text{-}}{\gamma }\), and \({\rm PdSi}{\text{-}}{\delta }\) are the stable phases at 0 K (–273 °C). X-ray diffraction analyses (XRD) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) of the as-solidified and heat-treated samples support the computational findings, except that the \({\rm PdSi}{\text{-}}{\delta }\) phase was not observed at low temperature. Considering both experimental data and first-principles results, the compounds \({\rm Pd}_{5}{\rm Si}{\text{-}}{\mu }\), \({\rm Pd}_{9}{\rm Si}_{2}{\text{-}}{\alpha }\), \({\rm Pd}_{3}{\rm Si}{\text{-}}{\beta }\), and \({\rm Pd}_2{\rm Si}{\text{-}}{\gamma }\) are treated as stable phases down to 0 K (−273 °C), while the \({\rm PdSi}{\text{-}}{\delta }\) is treated as being stable over a limited range, exhibiting a lower bound. Using these findings, a comprehensive solution-based thermodynamic model is formulated for the Pd-Si system, permitting phase diagram calculation. The liquid phase is described using a three-species association model and other phases are treated as solid solutions, where a random substitutional model is adopted for Pd-fcc and Si-dia, and a two-sublattice model is employed for \({\rm Pd}_{5}{\rm Si}{\text{-}}{\mu }\), \({\rm Pd}_{9}{\rm Si}_2{\text{-}}{\alpha }\), \({\rm Pd}_3{\rm Si}{\text{-}}{\beta }\), \({\rm Pd}_2{\rm Si}{\text{-}}{\gamma }\), and \({\rm PdSi}{\text{-}}{\delta }\). Model parameters are fitted using available experimental data and first-principles data, and the resulting phase diagram is reported over the full range of compositions.
