A detailed study is reported of the association behaviour of normal alcohols in very dilute solution (c < 0.2 mol/dm3) in benzene, carbon tetrachloride and alkane solvents using experimental i.r., N.M.R., dielectric constant, enthalpy and free energy of mixing data. The concentration dependence of the degree of association F(c) has been derived from these data and the results compared and critically assessed. The derived F(c) data have been found to be independent of the property used, while the hydrogen-bonding propensities of the OH groups are found to be independent of the alcohol chain length. The implications of the form of F(c) for association models is discussed and used together with dipole-dipole correlation data g(c) to obtain information on imer structure. An indication has been obtained of the cause of the distinctive forms of the F(c) and g(c) functions found for alcohol solutions in the different types of solvent.

Liquid mixtures are ubiquitous. Miscibility and dielectric constant are fundamental properties that govern the applications of liquid mixtures. However, despite their importance, miscibility is usually predicted qualitatively based on the vaguely defined polarity of the liquids, and the dielectric constant of the mixture is modeled by introducing mixing rules. Here, we develop a first-principles theory for polar liquid mixtures using a statistical field approach, without resorting to mixing rules. With this theory, we obtain simple expressions for the mixture’s dielectric constant and free energy of mixing. The dielectric constant predicted by this theory agrees well with measured data for simple binary mixtures. On the basis of the derived free energy of mixing, we can construct a miscibility map in the parameter space of the dielectric constant and molar volume for each liquid. The predicted miscibility shows remarkable agreement with known data, thus providing a quantitative basis for the empirical “like-dissolves-like” rule.

The observed asymmetric behaviour of mixing of  NaCd liquid alloys around equiatomic composition with smaller negative values for free energy of mixing at compound forming concentration, i.e. GMXS = -4.9KJ at Ccd =0.66 has  aroused our interest to undertake a theoretical investigation of this system.A simple statistical mechanical theory based on compound formation model has been used to investigate the energetics of formation of intermetallic compound Cd2Na in the melt through the study of entropy of mixing.Besides, the interionic interactions between component atoms Na and Cd of the alloys have been understood through the study of interionic pair potential фij(r), calculated from pseudopotential theory in the light of CF model.Our study of фij(r) suggest that the effective interaction between Na-Na atoms decreases on alloying with Cd atom, being minimum for compound forming alloy( Cd 0.66 Na 0.34 ).The nearest neighbor distance between Na-Na atoms does not alter on alloying. Like wise Na-Na,  effective interaction between  Cd-Cd atom decreases from pure state to NaCd alloys, being smaller at compound forming  concentration Cd 0.66 Na 0.34.The computed values of SM from pseudopotential theory are positive at all concentrations, but the agreement between theory and experimental is not satisfactory. This might be happening due to parameterisation of σ3 and Ψcompound.

The recently introduced four atom cluster model is used to obtain higher order conditional probabilities that describe the atomic correlations in some molten binary alloys. Although the excess free energy of mixing for all the systems studied are almost symmetrical about the equiatomic composition, most other thermodynamic quantities are not and thus, the study enables us to explain the subtle differences in their physical characteristics required to describe the mechanism of the observed strong heterocoordination in Au–Zn or homocoordination in Cu–Ni within the same framework. More importantly, we obtain all calculated quantities for the whole concentration range thus complimenting experimental evidence.

Thermodynamic properties, such as free energy of mixing, heat of mixing, entropy of mixing, activities and the microscopic structural properties, such as concentration fluctuation in long-wavelength limit and chemical short-range order parameter of Pb-Tl liquid alloy at 773 K have been studied on the basis of regular associated solution model. We have estimated the mole fractions of the complex and the unassociated atoms assuming the existence of  complex as energetically favoured in the liquid state. The compositional contributions of the heat of mixing of the species Pb and Tl and the heat of formation of the compound to the net enthalpy change have also been studied. The transport properties such as, viscosity and the ratio of mutual and intrinsic coefficients have been studied using different approaches. The surface concentration of Tl atoms has been computed and it has been employed to calculate the surface tension of Pb-Tl liquid alloy. Both the theoretical and the experimental values of the concentration fluctuation in long-wavelength limit are found to be less than the ideal value, revealing that the concerned system is hetero-coordinating in nature. The interaction energies are found to be temperature dependent and respective alloy is found to be weakly interacting system. BIBECHANA 13 (2016) 100-113

Abstract The spectra which were studied lie within the region of hertzian frequencies, and can be represented either by dispersion curves showing the dielectric constant of the substance as a function of the frequency (or wave length λ), or by absorption curves showing the loss angle as a function of this frequency. These two types of curves represent the same phenomenon, i.e., orientation of the dipolar molecules in the alternating electric field, in accordance with the theory of Debye. The spectra and their interpretation depend chiefly on whether the molecules are crystalloid with relatively small and similar dimensions, or are colloidal, with large and unequal dimensions. In the first case, the spectra gives evidence chiefly on the form of the molecules and their structural features. Dilution in a nonpolar solvent shows for certain dipolar compounds, e.g., alcohol, considerable deformations, which differ according to the solvent. In the case of colloids, e.g., rubber, which has a permanent moment, the spectra and the meaning of these spectra are far different. In this case the spectra indicate that the absorption and dispersion values in the hertzian region are closely related to the micellar constitution, i.e., to the different types of micelles, to their size, and to the proportion of each type.

AbstractA model is presented to explain various aspects of diffusion-induced grain boundary migration (DIGM). The driving energies of DIGM are identified as the free energy of mixing and the interface free energy, the former being predominant in most cases of DIGM. The grain boundary migrates due to thermally activated motion of atoms across the interface under the influence of the driving energies. An expression for the velocity of migration is derived. It is shown that this depends parabolically on the solute concentration, in agreement with experimental observations in the case of liquid film migration (LFM), which is analogous to DIGM. Furthermore, the velocity is proportional to lattice diffusivity ahead of the boundary. Recent results of enhancement of DIGM by ion bombardment is explained by radiation-enhanced lattice diffusivity due to introduction of point defects by the ions. The model also explains that diffusion-induced recrystallization (DIR) is due to a free energy decrease associated with the transformation from the amorphous phase in the grain boundary layer to the crystalline phase.

Abstract The full decomposition of dolomites with low and high iron content at low temperatures and low pressures is discussed with reference to the free energy of mixing of the ternary system Ca. Fe, Mg/O. The actual products of the primary step are a couple of rock salt structured oxides close to the spinodal compositions and with very small particle sizes. A subsequent diffusional process can produce large crystallites with equilibrium compositions, but it is effective only when either a low-iron dolomite is used as starting material or higher temperatures are employed.

Six binary silane systems were chosen to calculate the activity coefficients (γ) and free energies of mixing (ΔGm). These systems included: methyldichlorosilane + methyltrichlorosilane, methyldichlorosilane + methylvinyldichlorosilane, methyldichlorosilane + toluene, methyltrichlorosilane + methylvinyldichlorosilane, methyltrichlorosilane + toluene, methylvinyldichlorosilane + toluene. Based on the Antoine constants, critical parameters of the pure components and Wilson model parameters, γ and ΔGmwere calculated. The influence factors of these thermodynamic properties were also discussed.

Abstract: The thermodynamic model based on clustering of two atoms is considered with the view to obtain the concentration-concentration fluctuation, Scc(0) and the darken stability function. The thermodynamic properties of these alloys were evaluated based on clustering of two atoms (A & B) or (B & A). Each system has the view of obtaining concentration-concentration fluctuation, Scc(0) enumerating the low-order atomic correlation in the nearest neighbour shell of liquid binary alloys. The highlights of reciprocals of Scc(0) of these alloys were noted . The values of Scc(0) for Al-In alloy throughout the entire concentration were positive and higher for activity ratio and lower than the ideal solution values for free energy of mixing at specific Al composition. The values of darken stability function of Al-In alloy fall below the ideal darken stability function for activity ratio and free energy of mixing . The indication of the reciprocal of Scc(0) for all the alloys is in support of homocoordination / heterocoordination in the nearest neighbour shell. The Scc(0) and darken stability function of Bi-Zn binary alloys were noted with fluctuations. Keywords: Concentration-concentration fluctuation, Darken stability function, Ordering energy.

The quasi-chemical model based on pairwise interactions is used to study the concentration dependent thermodynamic properties of Li-Cd liquid alloys. Special attention is given to the concentration-concentration correlation function in the long wavelength limit [Scc(0)] and the chemical short-range order parameter (CSRO). The activity, free energy of mixing, Scc(0) and CSRO are computed as functions of temperature and concentration.
