Abstract

Coherent phase diagrams are defined as pertaining to equilibria between phases which differ from one another merely by the distribution of different types of atoms on fixed crystallographic sites. Resulting ordered structures must then all be superstructures of one parent lattice, and corresponding phase diagrams are isomorphous to those of the Ising model with non–vanishing magnetic field. Rather complex phase diagrams can then be obtained from a single free energy functional by means of the cluster variation method. Calculated phase diagrams will be shown for the case of the fcc parent lattice with various positive and negative ratios of the values of second-to-first-neighbor pair interactions, this ratio being the only parameter which enters the calculation. Results will be compared to those of Monte Carlo calculations. The possibility of performing these first-principle calculations of coherent phase diagrams will be briefly touched upon.
