First-Principles Computation of the Vibrational Entropy of Ordered and Disordered Ni3Al
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is increasing evidence that vibrational entropy may significantly contribute to the entropy difference between the ordered and the disordered states of a compound. Through first-principles calculations, we investigate the magnitude of this vibrational entropy difference in Ni3Al, a compound where this effect is believed to be especially large. We find the vibrational entropy difference to be essentially zero and temperature independent. [S0031-9007(98)06236-X]

Free energy and vibrational entropy difference between ordered and disordered Ni3Al
We have calculated free energy and vibrational entropy differences in Ni3Al between its equilibrium ordered structure and a disordered fcc solid solution. The free energy and entropy differences were calculated using the method of adiabatic switching in a molecular-dynamics formalism. The path chosen for the free-energy calculations directly connects the disordered with the ordered state. The a...
متن کاملFirst-principles computation of the vibrational entropy of ordered and disordered Pd3V
Experimental as well as theoretical work indicates that the relative stability of the ordered and the disordered states of a compound may be significantly affected by their difference in vibrational entropy. The origin of this difference is usually attributed to the fact that disordering reduces the number of stiff bonds between different atomic species in favor of soft bonds between identical ...
متن کاملFIRST PRINCIPLES COMPUTATIONS Effects of temperature and ferromagnetism on the c-Ni/c-Ni3Al interfacial free energy from first principles calculations
The temperature dependencies of the c(f.c.c.)Ni/c-Ni3Al(L12) interfacial free energy for the {100}, {110}, and {111} interfaces are calculated using firstprinciples calculations, including both coherency strain energy and phonon vibrational entropy. Calculations performed including ferromagnetic effects predict that the {100}-type interface has the smallest free energy at different elevated tem...
متن کاملVibrational entropy of L12 Cu3Au measured by inelastic neutron scattering
The phonon density of states of elemental Au, Cu, and Cu3Au with L12 chemical order were measured by inelastic neutron scattering and used to calculate the vibrational entropy of formation of the ordered compound from the elemental metals. A vibrational entropy of formation of (0.0660.03) kB /atom at 300 K was obtained, with the vibrational entropy of the ordered alloy being larger than that of...
متن کاملCOMPARISON OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF Ni3Al THIN FILMS IN DISORDERED FCC AND ORDERED L12 PHASES
We report the results of several experiments isolating the effect of long-range order on mechanical properties of intermetallic compounds. Kinetically disordered FCC Ni3Al (Ni 76%) thin films were produced by rapid solidification following pulsed laser melting. For comparison, compositionally and microstructurally identical films with ordered L12 structure were produced by subsequent annealing ...
