Recently, measurements of short-range order (SRO) diffuse neutron scattering intensity have been performed on quenched Cu-Zn alloys with 22.4 to 31.1 atomic percent (a/o) Zn, and pair interactions were obtained by Inverse Monte Carlo simulation [1]. These results are compared to SRO intensities and effective pair interactions obtained from first-principles electronic structure calculations. The theoretical SRO intensities were calculated with the Cluster Variation Method (CVM) in the tetrahedron-octahedron approximation with first-principles pair interactions as input. More generally, phase stability in the Cu-Zn alloy system is discussed, using ab-initio energetic properties.

ABSTRACTThe influence of magnetism on atomic short range order is shown in a single crystalline FeAl19.sat% alloy in the disordered phase. The short range order has been measured in the paramagnetic state between 973 and 1573 K on D7 at ILL through neutron diffuse scattering in the [110] plane. The effective pair interaction potentials V1 , V2, V3 and V5 are calculated through an inverse cluster variation method. The results are compared to those obtained through X-ray diffuse scattering on the same alloy frozen in the ferromagnetic order state at 772 K. The effect of magnetic coupling on the atomic order is the most important on the 1st effective potential, which is smaller by about a factor 2 in the ferromagnetic phase than in the paramagnetic one.
