A simple modeling method to extend first-principles electronic structure calculations to finite temperatures is presented. The method is applicable to crystalline solids exhibiting complex thermal disorder and employs quasi-harmonic models to represent the vibrational and magnetic free energy contributions. The main outcome is the Helmholtz free energy, calculated as a function of volume and temperature, from which the other related thermophysical properties (such as temperature-dependent lattice and elastic constants) can be derived. Our test calculations for Fe, Ni, Ti, and W metals in the paramagnetic state at temperatures of up to 1600 K show that the predictive capability of the quasi-harmonic modeling approach is mainly limited by the electron density functional approximation used and, in the second place, by the neglect of higher-order anharmonic effects. The developed methodology is equally applicable to disordered alloys and ordered compounds and can therefore be useful in modeling realistically complex materials.

We have studied here the electronic structure of pure random disordered alloys formed by Ni with Cu and Au at different ratios by using the linearized tight-binding muffin-tin Orbital (TB-LMTO) method. We also used the recursion technique together with augmented space formalism for increasing the efficiency and the accuracy to calculate the component projected density of states. From the density of state, we can understand the Fermi energy, magnetic moment and binding energy at different alloy compositions. The band structure can be calculated from here also. These studies are helpful for experimentalists and metallurgists in designing materials and alloys with specific properties.
