Systems: [Sn–Ti](https://data.orchid-project.org/systems/SN-TI.html) ## Literature values Table: Enthalpy of formation of Sn5Ti6 reported in the literature (4) | Value | Phase as printed | T (K) | Class | Method | System | Source | Location | Quote | |---:|---|---:|---|---|---|---|---|---| | -115 kJ/mol-atom | Sn5Ti6-L | 298.15 | experimental | Experiment | [Sn–Ti](https://data.orchid-project.org/systems/SN-TI.html) | [1] Liu 2005; _cites Savin 1973_ | Table 2, p. 3, row 3; `ORC-YTPULMUAG2.147391` | | | -43.4 kJ/mol-atom ± 1.4 | Sn5Ti6-L | 298.15 | experimental | Experiment | [Sn–Ti](https://data.orchid-project.org/systems/SN-TI.html) | [1] Liu 2005; _cites Meschel 1998_ [doi](https://doi.org/10.1016/s0040-6031%2897%2900467-x) | Table 2, p. 3, row 5; `ORC-C3QDI5675C` | | | -52 kJ/mol-atom | Sn5Ti6-L | | model | Theoretical prediction | [Sn–Ti](https://data.orchid-project.org/systems/SN-TI.html) | [1] Liu 2005; _cites de Boer FR 1988_ | Table 2, p. 3, row 4; `ORC-F25HTURVSH.4ddf2e` | | | -40.3 kJ/mol-atom | Sn5Ti6-L | | model | Calculation | [Sn–Ti](https://data.orchid-project.org/systems/SN-TI.html) | [1] Liu 2005 | Table 2, p. 3, row 6; `ORC-EVTSE7FFLQ.982031` | | ### Uncertainty budget Components kept separate, in the value's unit (literature [SCHEMA.md](https://data.orchid-project.org/literature/SCHEMA.md), [UNCERTAINTY_CALIBRATION.md](https://data.orchid-project.org/literature/UNCERTAINTY_CALIBRATION.md)): effective = max(sqrt(max(printed, reading, method)^2 + composition^2 + conversion^2), scatter). The method floor is the robust between-study scatter of the method class in ORCHID (calibrated) or a documented prior; printed values and printed uncertainties are unchanged. Table: Uncertainty budget of the literature values of Sn5Ti6 | Value | Unit | Printed | Reading | Method (class, basis) | Composition | Scatter | Conversion | Effective | |---:|---|---:|---:|---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | -115 | kJ/mol-atom | | 0.5 | 4.1 (experimental_unspecified, cleaned_below_threshold) | | | | 4.1 | | -43.4 | kJ/mol-atom | 1.4 | 0.05 | 4.1 (experimental_unspecified, cleaned_below_threshold) | | | | 4.1 | | -52 | kJ/mol-atom | | 0.5 | 3.9 (model_calculated, calibrated) | | | | 3.9 | | -40.3 | kJ/mol-atom | | 0.05 | 3.9 (model_calculated, calibrated) | | | | 3.9 | ## DFT formation energies Lowest-energy entries at this composition. Materials Project and OQMD use different energy references and are never averaged. 1 eV/atom = 96.485 kJ/mol-atom.

Version 1, machine-extracted: values were read by language-model readers constrained to quote their source and checked automatically, and the release was then audited on the printed pages by adversarial audits, an independent second review of fit-facing records and a preliminary human review of a frozen sample. Flags such as accepted and ESPEI-ready record screening results, not certification; known issues are listed in the release notes. ```bibtex @misc{orchid_literature_2026, author = {Arr{\'o}yave, Raymundo and Saal, James and Shin, Dongwon}, title = {{ORCHID-Values: thermodynamic and phase-equilibrium values read from the literature}}, version = {2026.10}, publisher = {Zenodo}, year = {2026}, doi = {10.5281/zenodo.23735569}, url = {https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23735569}, note = {Version 1, machine-extracted} } @misc{orchid_dft_benchmark_2026, author = {Arr{\'o}yave, Raymundo and Saal, James and Shin, Dongwon}, title = {{ORCHID-Parity: DFT-vs-experiment formation-enthalpy benchmark}}, version = {2026.10}, publisher = {Zenodo}, year = {2026}, doi = {10.5281/zenodo.23735943}, url = {https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23735943}, note = {Version 1, machine-extracted} } @misc{orchid_data_2026, author = {Arr{\'o}yave, Raymundo and Saal, James and Shin, Dongwon}, title = {{ORCHID data: umbrella record of the ORCHID datasets}}, version = {2026.10}, publisher = {Zenodo}, year = {2026}, doi = {10.5281/zenodo.23736065}, url = {https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23736065}, note = {Version 1, machine-extracted} } ``` --- Derived data CC BY 4.0 ([licence](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)): cite ORCHID ([CITATION.cff](https://data.orchid-project.org/CITATION.cff)) and the original sources.
