Free Energy Of Mixing

Theoretical calculations of thermodynamic mixing properties viz., Gibbs’ free energy of mixing GM , heat of mixing HM , entropy of mixing SM , as well as the activity and its coeffi cients, are performed using the Bhatia–Hargrove complex formation model. The mixture is assumed to be pseudobinary. The components exhibit a negative deviation from Raoult’s behavior, and the system is weakly interacting in nature.

Free Energy Of Mixing

Liquid mixtures are ubiquitous. Miscibility and dielectric constant are fundamental properties that govern the applications of liquid mixtures. However, despite their importance, miscibility is usually predicted qualitatively based on the vaguely defined polarity of the liquids, and the dielectric constant of the mixture is modeled by introducing mixing rules. Here, we develop a first-principles theory for polar liquid mixtures using a statistical field approach, without resorting to mixing rules. With this theory, we obtain simple expressions for the mixture’s dielectric constant and free energy of mixing. The dielectric constant predicted by this theory agrees well with measured data for simple binary mixtures. On the basis of the derived free energy of mixing, we can construct a miscibility map in the parameter space of the dielectric constant and molar volume for each liquid. The predicted miscibility shows remarkable agreement with known data, thus providing a quantitative basis for the empirical “like-dissolves-like” rule.

The recently introduced four atom cluster model is used to obtain higher order conditional probabilities that describe the atomic correlations in some molten binary alloys. Although the excess free energy of mixing for all the systems studied are almost symmetrical about the equiatomic composition, most other thermodynamic quantities are not and thus, the study enables us to explain the subtle differences in their physical characteristics required to describe the mechanism of the observed strong heterocoordination in Au–Zn or homocoordination in Cu–Ni within the same framework. More importantly, we obtain all calculated quantities for the whole concentration range thus complimenting experimental evidence.

AbstractA model is presented to explain various aspects of diffusion-induced grain boundary migration (DIGM). The driving energies of DIGM are identified as the free energy of mixing and the interface free energy, the former being predominant in most cases of DIGM. The grain boundary migrates due to thermally activated motion of atoms across the interface under the influence of the driving energies. An expression for the velocity of migration is derived. It is shown that this depends parabolically on the solute concentration, in agreement with experimental observations in the case of liquid film migration (LFM), which is analogous to DIGM. Furthermore, the velocity is proportional to lattice diffusivity ahead of the boundary. Recent results of enhancement of DIGM by ion bombardment is explained by radiation-enhanced lattice diffusivity due to introduction of point defects by the ions. The model also explains that diffusion-induced recrystallization (DIR) is due to a free energy decrease associated with the transformation from the amorphous phase in the grain boundary layer to the crystalline phase.

Abstract The full decomposition of dolomites with low and high iron content at low temperatures and low pressures is discussed with reference to the free energy of mixing of the ternary system Ca. Fe, Mg/O. The actual products of the primary step are a couple of rock salt structured oxides close to the spinodal compositions and with very small particle sizes. A subsequent diffusional process can produce large crystallites with equilibrium compositions, but it is effective only when either a low-iron dolomite is used as starting material or higher temperatures are employed.

Free Energy Of Mixing

Six binary silane systems were chosen to calculate the activity coefficients (γ) and free energies of mixing (ΔGm). These systems included: methyldichlorosilane + methyltrichlorosilane, methyldichlorosilane + methylvinyldichlorosilane, methyldichlorosilane + toluene, methyltrichlorosilane + methylvinyldichlorosilane, methyltrichlorosilane + toluene, methylvinyldichlorosilane + toluene. Based on the Antoine constants, critical parameters of the pure components and Wilson model parameters, γ and ΔGmwere calculated. The influence factors of these thermodynamic properties were also discussed.

Abstract: The thermodynamic model based on clustering of two atoms is considered with the view to obtain the concentration-concentration fluctuation, Scc(0) and the darken stability function. The thermodynamic properties of these alloys were evaluated based on clustering of two atoms (A & B) or (B & A). Each system has the view of obtaining concentration-concentration fluctuation, Scc(0) enumerating the low-order atomic correlation in the nearest neighbour shell of liquid binary alloys. The highlights of reciprocals of Scc(0) of these alloys were noted . The values of Scc(0) for Al-In alloy throughout the entire concentration were positive and higher for activity ratio and lower than the ideal solution values for free energy of mixing at specific Al composition. The values of darken stability function of Al-In alloy fall below the ideal darken stability function for activity ratio and free energy of mixing . The indication of the reciprocal of Scc(0) for all the alloys is in support of homocoordination / heterocoordination in the nearest neighbour shell. The Scc(0) and darken stability function of Bi-Zn binary alloys were noted with fluctuations. Keywords: Concentration-concentration fluctuation, Darken stability function, Ordering energy.

The structural stability and magnetic properties of the cubic and tetragonal phases of Mn3Z (Z = Ga, In, Tl, Ge, Sn, Pb) Heusler alloys are studied by using first-principles calculations. It is found that with the increasing of the atomic radius of Z atom, the more stable phase varies from the cubic to the tetragonal structure. With increasing tetragonal distortion, the magnetic moments of Mn (A/C and B) atoms change in a regular way, which can be traced back to the change of the relative distance and the covalent hybridization between the atoms.
