The authors studied the reaction of In/sub 2/S/sub 3/ and CdIn/sub 2/S/sub 4/ with melts based on cadmium chloride. As the initial materials, they used polycrystalline In/sub 2/S/sub 3/ and CdIn/sub 2/S/sub 4/, cadmium chloride, and cadmium sulfide. The studies were carried out by the method of thermal analysis in sealed quartz ampules on an MOM derivatotograph. The solubility curve of In/sub 2/S/sub 3/ in a cadmium chloride melt is given. Nucleation occurs both within the liquid pahse and on the walls of the reaction container. At cooling rates of 4-5 K/h, with a charge of 100 g in a reaction container of diameter 20 mm the authors obtained In/sub 2/S/sub 3/ and CdIn/sub 2/S/sub 4/ crystals measuring 10-12 mm in size.
