The results of comparative thermodynamic analysis of Ga–In–Sb system are presented in this paper. Investigations, carried out in the section from Ga corner with molar ratio of In: Sb equal to 1:1, were done experimentally, using Oelsen calorimetry at the temperature 873 K and analytically, applying different calculation methods—Toop and Muggianu, in the temperature interval from 873 to 1673 K. Excess molar Gibbs energies and activity of all components in specified temperature interval were calculated.
