In this work we intend to study the thermodynamic and microscopic structural properties of Tl-Na liquid alloy at 673 K on the basis of regular associated solution model. We have estimated the mole fractions of the complex and the free monomers assuming the complex TlNα as energetically favoured in the initial melt. In thermodynamic properties, we have computed free energy of mixing (GM), enthalpy of mixing (GM), entropy of mixing (SM) and activities of the monomers (αTl and αNα). The compositional contributions of the heat of mixing and the heat of formation of the complex to the net enthalpy change have also been studied. The microscopic structural properties of the alloy have been studied by computing concentration fluctuation in the long wavelength limit (SCC(O)), chemical short range order parameter (α1) and the ratio of mutual to intrinsic diffusion coefficients (DM/Did). Both the theoretical and the experimental values of SCC(O) are found to be less than the ideal values at all compositions which indicates the ordering nature of Tl-Na liquid alloy at 673 K. All the interaction energy parameters are found to be negative and temperature dependent. The liquid system is found to be moderately interacting.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/bibechana.v12i0.11784BIBECHANA 12 (2015) 20-29

Thermodynamic properties, such as free energy of mixing, heat of mixing, entropy of mixing, activities and the microscopic structural properties, such as concentration fluctuation in long-wavelength limit and chemical short-range order parameter of Pb-Tl liquid alloy at 773 K have been studied on the basis of regular associated solution model. We have estimated the mole fractions of the complex and the unassociated atoms assuming the existence of  complex as energetically favoured in the liquid state. The compositional contributions of the heat of mixing of the species Pb and Tl and the heat of formation of the compound to the net enthalpy change have also been studied. The transport properties such as, viscosity and the ratio of mutual and intrinsic coefficients have been studied using different approaches. The surface concentration of Tl atoms has been computed and it has been employed to calculate the surface tension of Pb-Tl liquid alloy. Both the theoretical and the experimental values of the concentration fluctuation in long-wavelength limit are found to be less than the ideal value, revealing that the concerned system is hetero-coordinating in nature. The interaction energies are found to be temperature dependent and respective alloy is found to be weakly interacting system. BIBECHANA 13 (2016) 100-113

The thermodynamic, microscopic, surface and transport properties of Sb-Sn liquid alloy at 905K have been studied using regular solution model. In thermodynamic properties, free energy of mixing(GM) , activity(a), entropy of mixing(SM), heat of mixing (HM) have been studied. To understand structural behavior of the liquid alloys concentration fluctuations in the long wavelength limit i.e. (Scc(0)) and short range order parameter (α1) have been computed. Surface property is studied with the help of Butler’s model while transport property is computed from Moelwyn-Hughes equation. The theoretical and experimental values of thermodynamic and microscopic properties of Sb-Sn liquid alloy at 905K have been compared. In present work the value of interchange energy (w) is found to be negative suggesting that there is a tendency of unlike atoms pairing (i.e. Sb-Sn) as the nearest neighbor indicating the ordering behavior in Sb-Sn liquid alloy. The symmetric behavior of concentration fluctuations of the liquid alloy has been well explained by the model. The temperature dependence of interchange energy (w) has been found during the computation of entropy of mixing (SM) and heat of mixing (HM) of the liquid alloy.BIBECHANA 15 (2018) 1-10

In this work, thermodynamic and microscopic properties of Ni-Pd liquid alloy at 1873 K have been studied using a simple theory of mixture. In thermodynamic properties, free energy of mixing, heat of mixing and entropy of mixing have been studied. To understand the structural behaviour of the alloy concentration fluctuation in long wavelength limit and chemical short range order parameter have been computed. The Ni-Pd melt at 1873 K is found to be slightly deviated from regular behaviour. The best estimated value of energy parameter is found to be positive. The alloy is found to be weakly segregating system. The symmetric behaviour of all functions has been well explained by the simple theory of mixing.

The thermodynamic and structural properties of Fe-Pd liquid alloys at 1873 K have been computed using regular associated solution model. To compute these functions we have estimated the mole fractions of the complex assuming the existence of FePd3 complex in the melt. The thermodynamic properties such as free energy of mixing (GM), heat of mixing (HM), entropy of mixing (SM) and activity (a) of the melt have been estimated. To understand the microscopic structural properties, we have estimated the concentration fluctuation in long wavelength limit (Scc(0)) and the Warren-Cowley short range parameter (α1). The free energy of mixing was found to be negative at all compositions. But the heat of mixing and the entropy of mixing are found to be positive at all compositions. The equilibrium constant (K) is found be less than negative. The interaction energy parameters (w12, w13 and w23) are all found to be positive and temperature dependent. The theoretical estimation of the concentration fluctuation in long wavelength limit (SCC (0)) is found to be greater than the ideal values throughout the whole range. The theoretical analysis suggests that the Fe-Pd liquid alloy at 1873 K near the melting point is segregating (homo-coordinating) system. The Warren-Cowley short range order parameter is found to be positive which too suggest the homocoordinating (segregating) nature of the system at all compositions. The theoretical analysis also suggests that the Fe-Pd liquid alloy near melting point is weakly interacting system.

The large asymmetry observed in the properties of mixing of indium-sodium liquid alloy is discussed on the basis of quasi-lattice chemical model. A special attention is given to the concentration dependence of free energy of mixing, entropy of mixing and heat of mixing. The results explain the observed asymmetry in the properties of mixing of InNa liquid alloys around equi-atomic composition.

In the present work we have considered the antimony-indium liquid alloy which shows anomaly as regards its heat of mixing and the concentration fluctuations in the long-wavelength limit. On the other hand, the free energy of mixing and the entropy of mixing are found to be symmetric about the equi-atomic composition. Such alloying behaviour has been tried to explain on the basis of conformal solution model. This is a statistical mechanical model based on the formation of complex within the liquid alloy. In this model besides the interaction between unlike atoms, that between each constituent element and the complex too is taken into account. In course of theoretical treatment the activity of antimony is also computed for different concentrations. Our results indicate that Sb-In alloys are thermodynamically most stable around the equi-atomic composition.

The thermodynamic and structural properties of binary alloy Ag- Sb at temperature 1250K have been reported theoretically using quasi lattice model. The interchange energy has been considered a function of a temperature and thus various thermodynamic quantities are calculated at elevated temperature. The theoretical values of free energy of mixing, heat of mixing, entropy of mixing and chemical activity are reasonable agreement with experimental values in all concentrations of antimony from 0.1 to 0.9. The theoretical analysis tells that the alloy shows both ordering nature in Ag rich end and segregating nature in Sb rich end .The study reveals that the properties of alloy are asymmetric around equi-atomic composition. The Ag_3 Sn complexes are most likely to exist in the liquid state and are moderately interacting.

Abstract A theoretical model based on the assumption of compound formation in binary liquid alloy has been used to investigate the thermodynamic properties (free energy of mixing, enthalpy of mixing and entropy of mixing), microscopic properties (concentration fluctuation in long wavelength limit and chemical short range order parameter), surface properties (surface tension and surface composition) and dynamic properties ( viscosity and diffusion coefficient). All the properties of Al2Fe binary melt have been measured using the same energy parameters configured for experimental values of free energy of mixing. The energy parameters are detected as independent of concentration, but depend on temperature. The findings are well consistent with the experimental standards.
