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.

Abstract: The thermodynamic model based on cluster of two atoms is considered with the view to obtaining Scc(0) and the excess stability function of Scc(0). Concentration-concentration fluctuation; Scc(0) of four binary molten alloys was calculated. The thermodynamic properties of these alloys are evaluated based on cluster 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 excess stability functions(ES) of Scc(0) of these alloys were reported. The values of Scc(0) for all these alloys are higher than the ideal solution values. The values of Scc(0) for Bi-Cd alloy is close to the ideal Scc (0). The indication of the excess stability of Scc(0) for some alloys is in support of homocoordination. The Scc(0) and excess stability function of Scc (0) for the four alloys are presented. Keywords: Concentration-concentration fluctuation, Excess stability function, Ordering energy.

Thermodynamic, structural, surface, and transport properties of Au-Ni liquid alloy at 1150 K were computed using different theoretical approaches. The thermodynamic properties, such as excess Gibbs free energy of mixing, enthalpy of mixing, activity and excess entropy of mixing, and structural properties, such as concentration fluctuation in long-wavelength limit and Warren-Cowley short-range order parameter were computed in the framework of Flory’s model. The effect of positive and negative values of the interchange energy parameter on the excess Gibbs free energy of mixing and concentration fluctuation in the long-wavelength limit was also observed. The surface tension and surface concentration of the system were calculated using Butler’s model. In the transport property, the viscosity of the system was calculated using Kaptay and Budai-Benko-Kaptay (BBK) models. BIBECHANA 18 (2021) 184-192

Sodium is a highly reactive alkali metal. Within a binary liquid alloy it generally forms complexes. Due to formation of such complexes the thermodynamic properties of the binary alloys of sodium often show anomaly-deviating maximally from that of the ideal alloys. In the present work we have confined our investigation into the free energy of mixing (GM) of two binary alloys of sodium in liquid phase-Na-Pb and Na-Hg-near the melting point. For this purpose we have used Flory’s model and started with the activity of sodium in the sodium-lead liquid alloy and that of mercury in the sodium amalgam at molten stage. By the method of successive approximations we have ascertained the value of interchange energy for each alloy in the light of the experimental values of activity and finally computed GM for different concentrations of the constituent species. Our computation explains the observed symmetry and anomaly in the free energy of mixing of the Na-Pb and Na-Hg liquid alloys respectively.The Himalayan PhysicsVol. 3, No. 32012Page : 24-26

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

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.
