Phase diagrams of the quasibinary systems Cu_1.95(Ag₂)Te–ZnTe, Cu_1.95(Ag₂)Te–CdTe and the vertical sections Cu_1.95(Ag₂)Te–Zn_xCd_1-xTe (х = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8) have been constructed using methods of physico-chemical analysis. The liquidus surfaces of the quasiternary systems Cu_1.95Te–ZnTe–CdTe and Ag₂Te–ZnTe–CdTe have been determined based on experimental data. Both liquidus surfaces include two fields of primary crystallization, corresponding to Zn_xCd_1-xTe solid solutions and copper or silver telluride.
