The Kanzaki lattice static method is used to calculate the strain field due to substitutional transition-metal impurities in Fe. The effective ion–ion interaction potential due to Wills and Harrison is used to calculate the dynamical matrix and the impurity-induced force up to second nearest neighbor of impurity. The atomic displacements due to 3d, 4d, and 5d substitutional transition-metal impurities (Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Nb, Mo, W, and Pt ) are calculated up to 24 nearest neighbors. The displacements are minimum for 3d impurities Cr and Mn and maximum for 4d impurity Nb. A similar trend is found in the calculated relaxation energy also. The calculated values are in qualitative agreement with the available experimental data.

The Embedded atom method has been used to investigate the strain field due to substitutional transition metal impurities in Ni. The calculations are carried out in the discrete lattice model of the metal using Kanzaki lattice static method. The results for atomic displacements due to 3d, 4d and 5d impurities (Cu, Pd, Pt and Au) in Ni are given up to 20 NN's of impurity and are compared with the earlier calculations and with the available experimental data. The maximum displacements of 3.6% of 1NN distance are found for NiAu, while the minimum displacements of 0.78% of 1NN distance are found for NiCu alloy respectively. The relaxation energy for Cu are found less than those for Pd, Au and Pt impurities in the Ni host.
