where K is the (general) instrumental sensitivity constant Iij is the intensity of ion i originating from neutral species j i is the isotopic abundance of ion i
i is the multiplier gain factor of ion i (sensitivity constant of the detector for ion i) - in multiplier current measurement mode only ai is the (spectral) abundance of ion i in the mass spectrum i is the total ionisation cross section of species j at the actual electron energy (si depends on j and the ionising electron energy)
K can be determined by calibration using e.g. a reference substance (e.g.pure component) in the next or previous experiment, using internal standard inside the same cell, using isothermal long-term evaporation etc).

Determination of activities by KEMS:
1/ by direct pressure calibration (DPC) using pure metals as reference substances in subsequent experiments (the uncertainty can reach as high as 20% due to a the change of sensitivity constant day-by-day),
2/ using a proper internal standard (ISM) being in the same cell,
3/ using twin or multiple Knudsen cell technique (MKC) (some of the compartments are filled with the pure components),
4/ from the change of the oligomer (monomer, dimer, trimer etc.) composition in the vapour (this latter method can be applied in the only case if the metals vaporise in the form of oligomers, such as Sb(g), Sb2 (g), Sb3(g), Sb4 (g)),
5/ applying the mass spectrometric Gibbs-Duhem Ion Intensity Ratio Method (GD- IIRM) that is a modification of the well-known Gibbs-Duhem relationship with MS quantities (i.e. ion intensities),
6/ applying the isothermal evaporation method (IEM) /long-term or total/,---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------7/ for ternary alloys, by applying Miki’ s or Tomiska’ s new KEMS methods for the determination of the constants in the power series expression of GE. (Miki: Redlich-Kister expression, Tomiska: TAP expression)

THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF MIXING
Activities and the activity coefficients ---> chemical potential change of mixing, excess chemical potential ---->Gibbs energy change of mixing, excess Gibbs energy
The uncertainty of Ei /(E
i)/ is usually lower than +-1 kJ/mol (at 1400 K, assuming an error as factor 1.1 in the values of activities, =1.11 kJ/mol is obtained).--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Temperature dependence of activities---> partial and integral enthalpy changes of mixing.
Uncertainties: (HEi )~1-2 kJ/mol for partial quantities but in case of
wrong identification of the composition the uncertainty of the integral quantity (HE) can reach as high as ~10 kJ/mol if the partial quantities depend on composition very sharply. The Gibbs-Duhem integration helps against this problem.

where ’n’ is the number of the measured compositions. If n>4 the solution of the linear equation system should be replaced with a multiple regression problem.
The method provides the three ternary parameters, and, as input parameters it needs the binary parameters (either from own experiments or from literature) and the measured ion intensity ratio at various compositions for the given temperature. Any ion intensity ratio can be used from the total 3 variations of a ternary systems.

CONCLUSIONS
1. The uncertainties of the ternary Redlich-Kister L-parameters obtained from our Knudsen effusion mass spectrometric data depend on the number of compositions studied. 23 compositions seemed to be sufficient to reach rather low relative uncertainty (the case of Cu-In-Sn). Lower number of compositions (the case of Ag-In-Sn) increases the uncertainties of L’s but the uncertainties of GE and of the activities remain still low.
2. There is a complete mismatch (both in absolute values and temperature trends) between the ternary L-parameters of Cu-In-Sn obtained in this work and those assessed by Liu. This mismatch results in large difference between the values obtained in this work and by Liu in all thermodynamic quantities, in particular in the partial and integral excess enthalpies and excess Gibbs energies.
3. The GE and activity values of Ag-In-Sn obtained from our and Miki’ s KEMS data agree very well but the ternary L-values obtained from this two sources are different. The difference in L’s probably also could be decreased by increasing
the compositions studied.
4. Any ion pair variation (e.g. Ag+/Sn+ or Ag +/In+ in Ag-In-Sn) in the mass spectrum can be chosen in principle for obtaining the thermodynamic properties. The different choices must provide the same values in case of good consistency.
