Abstract
The Bi-Sm and Ge-Sm systems have been optimized using calculation of phase diagrams (Calphad) method, coupled with first-principles calculations using density functional theory (DFT), to evaluate the thermodynamic parameters of the liquid and solid solutions phases and the intermetallic compounds within both systems. Each system contains five intermetallic phases: Bi₂Sm, BiSm, Bi₃Sm₄, Bi₃Sm₅, BiSm₂, Ge₃Sm₅, Ge₄Sm₅, GeSm, Ge₅Sm₃ and Ge₃Sm₂. All intermediate phases are stoichiometric, and their enthalpies of formation are computed with VASP code. The liquid excess Gibbs energy is described by the associate model, while the primary solid solutions for both systems are modelled using the Redlich–Kister polynomial.
期刊介绍:
The most trusted journal for phase equilibria and thermodynamic research, ASM International''s Journal of Phase Equilibria and Diffusion features critical phase diagram evaluations on scientifically and industrially important alloy systems, authored by international experts.
The Journal of Phase Equilibria and Diffusion is critically reviewed and contains basic and applied research results, a survey of current literature and other pertinent articles. The journal covers the significance of diagrams as well as new research techniques, equipment, data evaluation, nomenclature, presentation and other aspects of phase diagram preparation and use.
Content includes information on phenomena such as kinetic control of equilibrium, coherency effects, impurity effects, and thermodynamic and crystallographic characteristics. The journal updates systems previously published in the Bulletin of Alloy Phase Diagrams as new data are discovered.
