INTRODUCTION
Of special interest are valuable functional materials with complex metal chalcogenidesand-based phases characterized by thermoelectric, photoelectric, optical, magnetic, topological insulator and other properties [1-6] and AB2X4 magnetic compounds (A-Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, B-p1-p3 elements, X-chalcogen). They are promising materials for the production of wide-gap converters of optical radiations, light modulators, photo-detectors, as well as spintronic and other magnetic-field-controllable functional devices [7-11].
The development and optimization of processes for the preparation of new complex phases are based on phase equilibriums data and thermodynamic characteristics of the corresponding system [12, 13]. At the same time, systems formed by structural or formuleanaloges are of particular interest, since it can expect the formation of wide areas of solid solutions in them [14, 15].
This work is part of a complex physicochemical study of the FeS-Ga2S3-In2S3 quasi-ternary system and is devoted to the investigation of phase relations in the
FeGa2S4- FeIn2S4 and 2FeS-FeGaInS4polythermal sections.
The initial compounds of these systems are studied in detail.
FeS melts congruently at 1461 K and undergoes polymorphic transitions at 411 and 588 K [16]. The high-temperature modification of FeS crystallizes in the tetragonal structure (Sp.gr.P4/nmm) with lattice parameters a = 0.3768 nm, c = 0.5039 nm [17] or a = 0.36735 nm, c = 0.50328 nm [18], while low-temperature modification has hexagonal structure: a = 0.34436(1) nm, c = 0.57262(2) nm [19].
The FeGa2S4 and FeIn2S4ternary compounds melt congruently at 1418 [20] K and 1398 K [21] respectively. According to
[22], FeGa2S4 is formed by the peritectic reaction at 1343 K and undergoes a polymorphic transformation at 1283 K.
FeGa2S4crystallizes in the rhombic structure of the ZnAl2S4 type and with lattice parameters a=1.289 nm; b=0.751; c=0.609 nm
[23]. According to [24] this compound has two crystalline modifications: low-temperature has trigonal [Sp.gr. P3ml;a=0.3654(2) nm;
c=1.2056 nm], and high-temperature -rhombic (a=1.289; 6=0.751; c=0.609 nm) structure. The FeIn2S4 compound crystallizes in a spinel structure (Sp.gr.Fd-3m) with a lattice period a=1.0598 [23] or a=1.053 nm
[21].
The FeGaInS4 compound has a trigonal structure of the ZnAl2S4 (Sp.gr.P-3w1) type with parameters: a=0.37765, c=1.22257 nm [25, 26].
EXPERIMENTAL PART
2.1. Materials and syntheses
FeS, FeGa2S4, FeIn2S4, and FeGaInS4 were synthesized through the use of high purity iron (99.995%), indium (99.999%), gallium (99.999%), and sulfur (99.99%) purchased from Alfa Aesaras starting materials. Stoichiometric mixtures of elements were sealed in an evacuated quartz tube (15 cm in length and 1.5 cm in diameter) with a residual pressure of -10" Pa. The sealed tubes were then placed in a two-zone furnace for 2/3 of their length. The lower "hot zone" was slowly heated at a room temperature to ~ 3050 K above the melting point of the synthesized compounds and outside part of the ampoule was quenched with water ("cold zone"). The interaction of components occurs in the "hot zone" and in the cold zone the chalcogen condenses and returns to the interaction zone. As a result of the reaction in the cold zone the mass of the chalcogen decreases and within 1-2 hours it is spent almost. Thereafter, the ampoule completely placed in a furnace and kept at the pointed temperature for 1-2 hours. The obtained samples were subjected to heat treatment at 800 K for 100 h. in order to increase the degree of crystallinity.
All investigated samples were prepared from pre-synthesized compounds in evacuated quartz tubes. The samples were annealed first at 1000 K (200 h), and then at 700 K (300 h) in order to reach the state closest to equilibrium. Some alloys after annealing were quenched in cold water.
RESULTS AND
FeGa2S4- FeIn2S4section (Table 1, Fig.1) is quasi-binary to pertain to the eutectic type with the formation of wide areas of solid
2.2. Analysis
Differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) were used to analyze the samples. DTA was carried out using a NETZSCH 404 F1 Pegasus system at a room temperature and ~1450 K depending on the composition of the alloys at a heating rate of 10 K- min-1. Temperatures of thermal effects were taken mainly from the heating curves. The accuracy of the temperature measurements was ±2 K.
Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) data were collected on a Bruker D2 Phaser diffractometer using Cu Ka1 (X=1.54056 A) radiation at a room temperature. The unit cell parameters of initial compounds and intermediate alloys were calculated by indexing of powder patterns using Topas V3.0 software.
According to DTA, synthesized compounds melt at 1460 K (FeS), 1420 K (FeGa2S4),and 1415 K (FeIn2S4).First two data are consistent with literature data [16,20], and the last isslightly higher (17 K) than indicated in [21].
The XRD powder patterns of synthesized compounds indicated the formation of singlephase materials. The calculated lattice constants of hexagonal FeS (a = 0.34440 nm and c = 0.57260 nm), trigonalFeGa2S4 (a=0.36543; c=1.20558nm) and cubic FeIn2S4 (a = 1.0607 nm) were in good agreement with the literature data [19, 22, 23].
DISCUSSION

Fig.1. Phase diagram of the FeGa2S4- FeIn2S4 system
The thermal effect at 1327 K relating to the polymorphic transformation of FeGa2S4 was not found in the alloys of this section. Taking into account the X-ray data on the crystal structure of the FeGa2S4-based P -solid solutions, we assume that the formation of the P-phase leads to a sharp increase in the temperature of this phase transition and the establishment of peritectoid equilibrium (point p*).
From the DTA data (Table 1), it follows that the melting of the P-phase with a composition of 50 mol% FeIn2S4 is an isothermal process (point K) while solid solutions with other compositions melt in the temperature range. This allows us to characterize the alloy FeGaInS4 as a chemical compound with congruent melting.
The evtectic horizontal is extended from ~ 58 to 75mol% FeIn2S4. Thus, at an eutectic temperature (1340 K) the FeGa2S4-based
solubility is ~ 58mol% FeIn2S4(P-phase), and FeIn2S4 is ~ 25 mol% (y-phase).
The XRD results of the powdered samples of the system (Fig.2) are in accordance with the phase diagram. According to Fig.2, the diffraction patterns of the alloys in the 0-50 mol% FeIn2S4 range of compositions are qualitatively similar to those of pure FeGa2S4with a slight reflection lines shift which is typical for substitutional solid solutions. The powder X-ray diffraction pattern of the alloy with 80 mol% FeIn2S4 compositions is identical to pure FeIn2S4 while the 60 mol% FeIn2S4 alloy contains and Pandy-phase reflections.
Table 2 presents the types and parameters of the crystal lattices of solid solutions of the FeGa2S4-FeIn2S4 system.The accuracy of the crystal lattice parameters is shown in parentheses.

The mutual solubility of the components at a room temperature was determined by us from the graph of the concentration dependence of the lattice parameters of the P-
and y- solid solutions and is 52 and 20mol%, respectively.
2FeS-FeGaInS4 section (Fig.3) has a phase diagram of the eutectic type with limited
mutual solubility of the components in the solid state. The compositions of three phases in eutectic equilibrium Lo-a+Pat 1310 K are determined by the construction of the Tamman triangle. The eutectic point has a composition

of ~ 63 mol% FeGaInS4, and two ends of the eutectic horizontal corresponding to the mutually saturated compositions of the a- and P-phases have the compositions 13 and 91 mol% FeGaInS4, respectively.

CONCLUSION
The character of phase equilibriums in the FeGa2S4- FeIn2S4 and FeS- FeGaInS4 sections of the FeS-Ga2S3-In2S3 quasi-ternary system was revealed. They are quasi-binary and characterized by wide areas of solid solutions based on starting compounds. The alloy with composition FeGaInS4 can be characterized as
a congruently melting compound.
Experimental results obtained can be used to select the composition of solution -melt in the growth of high-quality crystals of intermediate phases which are of interest as magnetic semiconductors.
