Abstract

FLAPW total energy calculations are performed for four kinds of ordered compounds in addition to pure Fe and pure Pt. Cluster expansion on the set of these total energies extracts effective nearest and second nearest neighbor pair interaction energies in addition to multibody interaction energies up to regular tetrahedron interactions. The entropy term is evaluated within the Tetrahedron-Octahedron approximation of the Cluster Variation Method. Thereby, the second nearest neighbor pair interaction and correlation are fully taken into account in the resultant phase diagram. As compared with the phase diagram obtained previously within the nearest neighbor pair interaction, the transition temperature is raised. This is ascribed not only to the enhanced ordering tendency due to the second nearest neighbor pair interaction but also to the destabilization of a homogeneous solid solution.

    The present authors have been attempting a series of investigations [1–9] of phase equilibria on Fe-based alloy systems, Fe–Ni, Fe–Pd, Fe–Pt and Fe–Pd–Ni, where Ni, Pd and Pt are located at the same VIII-th column of the periodic table.

    According to the ground state analysis [8] performed for fcc-based ordered phases within the first and second nearest neighbor pair interaction energies, the ratio of the effective second nearest neighbor pair interaction energy v2,2 to the first nearest neighbor pair interaction energy v2,1 is negative when L10-ordered phase is preferentially stabilized over L11-ordered phase. As shown in Fig. 3(b) and (c) [16] for Fe–Pd and Fe–Pt systems, respectively, the resultant ratio v2,2/v2,1 is negative in the vicinity of 1:1 stoichiometric composition which is estimated from the equilibrium lattice constant of L10 (or L11)-ordered phase for both the systems. More detailed discussions with the resultant transition temperature is provided in Section 3.2.
