A new cubic complex metallic alloy phase, Cr22Zn72Sn24, with a lattice parameter near 2.5 nm was discovered in crystals grown using a Zn/Sn flux. The structure consists of Russian doll clusters or a 3-d network of Cr-centered icosahedra (shown) with bcc-metal fragments in void spaces.

An interest in NiTi alloys with near stoichiometric composition (55 NiTi) has intensified since they were found to exhibit a unique mechanical shape memory effect at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory some twelve years ago (thus refered to as NITINOL alloys). Since then, the microstructural mechanisms associated with the shape memory effect have been investigated and several interesting engineering applications have appeared.The shape memory effect implies that the alloy deformed from an initial shape will spontaneously return to that initial state upon heating. This behavior is reported to be related to a diffusionless shear transformation which takes place between similar but slightly different CsCl type structures.

An investigation of the relative stability of the FeSi structure and of some hypothetical polymorphs of FeSi has been made by first-principles pseudopotential calculations. It has been shown that the observed distortion from ideal sevenfold coordination is essential in stabilizing the FeSi structure relative to one of the CsCl type. Application of high pressure to FeSi is predicted to produce a structure having nearly perfect sevenfold coordination. However, it appears that FeSi having a CsCl-type structure will be the thermodynamically most stable phase for pressures greater than 13 GPa. Fitting of the calculated internal energy vs volume for the FeSi structure to a third-order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state led to values, at T = 0 K, for the bulk modulus, K 0, and for its first derivative with respect to pressure, K 0′, of 227 GPa and 3.9, respectively.
