ABSTRACTMlultiatom interactions required in the statistical models used for the study of both the stability of ordered structures in the ground state and the chemical short range order, have been computed from the electronic structure for transition metal alloys. It is shown that : i) the most important interactions coming from “d” bands are those corresponding to self-retraced paths, the contributions of compact clusters being negligible ; ii) in general the results obtained using only second order pair interactions are valid provided that the concentration dependence of the pair interactions is taken into account. However in a few peculiar cases these results may be qualitatively modified.

The presence, nature, and impact of chemical short-range order in the multi-principal element alloy CrCoNi are all topics of current interest and debate. First-principles calculations reveal that its origins are fundamentally magnetic, involving repulsion between like-spin Co–Cr and Cr–Cr pairs that is complemented by the formation of a magnetically aligned sublattice of second-nearest-neighbor Cr atoms. Ordering models following these principles are found to predict otherwise anomalous experimental measurements concerning both magnetization and atomic volumes across a range of compositions. In addition to demonstrating the impact of magnetic interactions and resulting chemical rearrangement, the possible explanation of experiments would imply that short-range order of this type is far more prevalent than previously realized.
