Concentration Depended Thermodynamic Properties of Fe-Co Liquid Binary Alloy

Abstract

The thermodynamic properties like heat of mixing (ΔE), entropy of mixing (ΔS) and volume of mixing (ΔΩ) of Fe-Co liquid binary alloys are computed using our newly constructed parameter free model potential. We have also attempted to investigate the effect of various forms of exchange and correlation functions, namely, Hartree (H) and Taylor (T) on the thermodynamic properties of Fe-Co liquid binary alloys. It is found that the proper choice of the model potential along with the local field correction function play an important role in investigating the thermodynamic properties of Fe-Co liquid binary alloys.
