Abstract

Linear Muffin Tin Orbital and Linearly Augmented Plane Wave calculations of equations of state were performed for observed and hypothetical ordered structures in the NiAl-NiTi system. Total energies were parameterized in both the Connolly-Williams and ∈-G approximations, and the resulting parameters were used to calculate theoretical phase diagrams by the cluster variation method. Third nearest neighbor Al-Ti pairwise interactions are predicted to be strongly repulsive, and to be a major cause of observed B2+L21 two phase fields.
