First-principles study of ternary fcc solution phases from special quasirandom structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present work, ternary special quasirandom structures SQSs for a fcc solid solution phase are generated at different compositions, xA=xB=xC= 1 3 and xA= 1 2 , xB=xC= 1 4 , whose correlation functions are satisfactorily close to those of a random fcc solution. The generated SQSs are used to calculate the mixing enthalpy of the fcc phase in the Ca-Sr-Yb system. It is observed that first-principles calculations of all the binary and ternary SQSs in the Ca-Sr-Yb system exhibit very small local relaxation. It is concluded that the fcc ternary SQSs can provide valuable information about the mixing behavior of the fcc ternary solid solution phase. The SQSs presented in this work can be widely used to study the behavior of ternary fcc solid solutions.

The phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties of the Ni–Mo system were analyzed by combining a first-principles approach and calculation of phase diagram (CALPHAD) technique. The first-principles calculation results indicate that Ni2Mo and Ni8Mo are stable in addition to Ni3Mo and Ni4Mo, and -NiMo is not stable at 0 K, both in contradiction to the existing phase relationships in the Ni–Mo s...

For the total energy of oxygen, vibrational, rotational and translational degrees of freedom were considered. The Hf-O system was...
متن کاملThermodynamic properties of binary HCP solution phases from special quasirandom structures
Three different special quasirandom structures (SQS) of the substitutional hcp A1−xBx binary random solutions (x = 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75) are presented. These structures are able to mimic the most important pair and multi-site correlation functions corresponding to perfectly random hcp solutions at those compositions. Due to the relatively small size of the generated structures, they can be used ...
