In this paper, we investigate how excess entropy affects the model's calculated values in various alloy solutions by incorporating the Tanaka excess entropy relation within the framework of the Miedema model coupled with the Unified Extrapolation Model (UEM). A comparison with experimental values reveals the following: (1) For systems containing gaseous elements: predictions align better with experimental data when excess entropy is not considered, except in cases involving oxygen and some non-metallic elements (C, B, N, O, S). (2) For systems with non-metallic elements (e.g., C, Si): including excess entropy significantly improves alignment with experimental values. (3) For metallic solute systems: the effect of excess entropy is minimal and can generally be disregarded.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9436,"journal":{"name":"Calphad-computer Coupling of Phase Diagrams and Thermochemistry","volume":"88 ","pages":"Article 102792"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143181078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
