An invariant reaction of “Liquid(L)→Solid(S)+Gas(G)” was considered as a eutectic reaction in previous literatures. However, since one of the resultant phases is not a solid phase, the invariant reaction of L→S+G should be distinguished from the eutectic reaction. The nomenclature of the L→S+G reaction is suggested to be a gas-evolution crystallization reaction.
