Abstract

Electronic structure and phase stability properties of Ni-Ti and Ni-Al around equiatomic composition are investigated with a first principles approach. The study is based upon the generalized purturbation method applied to the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker multiple scattering formulation of the coherent potential approximation. Within this framework, effective cluster interactions which build up the configuration-dependent part of the internal energy are calculated. The strength of ordering tendencies in both bcc-based substitutional alloys is compared and contrasted in terms of hybridisation effects, in relation with experimental evidences.
