Lanthanum activity was determined for the first time in La–U–Ga–X (X = Al or In) alloys. Ga–In and Ga–Al alloys were taken in the eutectic composition (21.8 wt.% In and 1.6 wt.% Al, respectively). Measurements were performed between 573 and 1073 K employing the e.m.f. method.

Keywords: Lanthanum; Uranium; Gallium-Indium Eutectic; Gallium-Aluminium Eutectic; Activity; Thermodynamics.
