AbstractAn expression for the chain length probability distribution p(l) of a one dimensional Ising chain was derived using the cluster variation method formalism, the p(l) being expressed through the pair cluster probabilities. It was shown numerically that the same expression also applies in the case of one dimensional chains formed along one of the next-nearest neighbor interactions included in the two dimensional ASYNNNI (Asymmetric Next-Nearest Neighbor Ising) model, widely used to describe the statistics of oxygen ordering in the basal CuOx planes of the YBa2Cu3O6+x type high-Tc superconducting materials. Equivalency between ASYNNNI and 1d Ising model is discussed.

One of the biggest challenges in characterizing 2-D image topographies is finding a low-dimensional parameter set that can succinctly describe, not so much image patterns themselves, but the nature of these patterns. The 2-D cluster variation method (CVM), introduced by Kikuchi in 1951, can characterize very local image pattern distributions using configuration variables, identifying nearest-neighbor, next-nearest-neighbor, and triplet configurations. Using the 2-D CVM, we can characterize 2-D topographies using just two parameters; the activation enthalpy (ε0) and the interaction enthalpy (ε1). Two different initial topographies (“scale-free-like” and “extreme rich club-like”) were each computationally brought to a CVM free energy minimum, for the case where the activation enthalpy was zero and different values were used for the interaction enthalpy. The results are: (1) the computational configuration variable results differ significantly from the analytically-predicted values well before ε1 approaches the known divergence as ε1→0.881, (2) the range of potentially useful parameter values, favoring clustering of like-with-like units, is limited to the region where ε0<3 and ε1<0.25, and (3) the topographies in the systems that are brought to a free energy minimum show interesting visual features, such as extended “spider legs” connecting previously unconnected “islands,” and as well as evolution of “peninsulas” in what were previously solid masses.

ABSTRACTWe present a study of the hexagonal close-packed (hcp) Ising model for binary alloys within the cluster variation approximation. Groundstates of order stabilized by nearest-neighbor (NN) pair, triplet, and tetrahedron interactions were determined using the cluster configuration polyhedron method; no previous hcp ground-state study has considered all of these interactions. We predict physically realizable groundstates with stoichiometries A, AB (3 distinct structures), A2B, A3B, and A4B3. The previously unpredicted A4B3 structure is stabilized by multiatom (i.e. triplet, tetrahedron) interactions, while the others are stabilized by the two NN pair interactions. The Cluster Variation Method (CVM) was used to calculate the finite-temperature phase-equilibria for prototypical binary alloys. We present the first ordering phase diagrams computed with the CVM which contain all relevant groundstates for both isotropic and anisotropic NN pair interactions.

AbstractThe order-disorder behavior of a Σ = 5 grain boundary was investigated using a two dimensional latice gas model and the cluster variation method. It is found that a disordered layer forms in the grain boundary region at temperatures significantly below theorder—disorder temperature for the bulk. Under certain assumptions for the pair interaction energies the model predicts grain boundary compositions different from the bulk.
