CT – 11 : Models for excess Gibbs energy Models for the excess Gibbs energy: associate-solution model, quasi-chemical model, cluster-variation method, modeling using sublattices:models using two sublattices
The associate-solution model Systems with SRO: „associate“ – association between unlike atoms when attractive forces are not strong enough to form stable molecule (If the molecule is formed (introduced) – it is constituent in the solution) LFS - CT
The associate-solution model – cont. Associate-solution model introduce formaly fictitious „associate“ („cluster“) as a constituent in the solution as a modeling tool: it is not stable enough to be isolated, but its life time is longer than the mean time between thermal collisions „Associate“ is a new constituent (it has to be introduced!) and it creates an internal degree of freedom: Gibbs energy of its formation should fit experimental data – sharp minimum in the enthalpy curve corresponds to enthalpy of formation of associate and its stoichiometry. Stoichiometric composition: concentration of associate is high, configurational entropy is low.
The associate-solution model – cont. Gibbs-energy expression for substitutional associated solution (i is constituent): yi is site fraction of constituent (molar fractions of components are not the same as constituent fractions) EG can be modeled as in the substitutional solution LFS -CT
Example of introducing associates System Mg-Sn: additional constituent Mg2Sn in the liquid (high degree of SRO) – (see concentration scale) LFS - CT
Example of introducing associates – cont. Gibbs energy expression: oGMg2Sn determines the fraction of Mg2Sn in the liquid Model will behave differently for the model (Mg, Sn, Mg2/3Sn1/3) LFS -CT

The ionic liquid model The ionic liquid model is the modified sublattice model, where the constituents are cations (Mq+), vacancies (Vaq–), anions (Xp–)and neutral species (Bo). Assumes separate „sublattices“ for Mq+ and Vaq-, Xp–, Bo, e.g., (Cu+)P(S2–, Va–, So)Q, (Ca2+, Al3+)P(O2–, AlO1.5o)Q or (Ca2+)P(O2–, SiO44–, Va2–, SiO2o)Q The number of „sites“ (P, Q) varies with composition to maintainelectroneutrality. It is possible to handle the whole range of compositionsfrompure metal to pure non-metal.
Non-random configurational entropy Strong interactions: Random (ideal) entropy of mixing, Sid = -R in yi ln(yi), is not valid Long-range ordering (LRO): sublattices model Short-range ordering (SRO): Quasi-chemical approach – pairwise bonds Cluster variation method (CVM) – clusters = new fictitious constituents in the equation Sid = -R in yi ln(yi)
The quasi-chemical model Guggenheim (1952): Assuming the bonds AA, BB and AB Formation of bonds is treated as chemical reaction: AA + BB AB + BA „fictitious“ constituents AB and BA (bonds in crystalline solids of different orientation) Number of bonds per atom for a phase = z, Gibbs energy expression for the „bonds“: LFS -CT
The quasi-chemical model - cont. In the expression for surface reference: oGAB = oGBA (due to symmetry) If yAB = yBA no LRO – „degeneracy“ in disordered state It should be added the additional term: RT yAB ln 2 compared with the case on ignoring this degeneracy In the expression for configurational entropy: cnfS is overestimated: number of bonds is z/2 times larger than the number of atoms per mole and, for oGAB = 0 entropy should be identical to Sid of components A and B.) Therefore, modified configurational entropy expression (Guggenheim 1952): LFS -CT
The quasi-chemical model - cont. No SRO - modified configurational entropy expression gives the same configurational entropy as a random mixing of the atoms A and B(first term=0): constituent fractions can be calculated from the mole fractions by the set of equations: yAA = xA2 ,yAB = yBA = xA xB, yBB = xB2 Small SRO - Modified configurational entropy expression is valid! Strong SRO, z > 2, may be even cnfS < 0 Very strong SRO: situation can be treated as LRO: sublattice model (Quasichemical and CVM models are alternative models to the regular solution model – Differences in entropy term)
Cluster variation method Kikuchi (1951): Clusters with 3,4, and more atoms – depending on the crystal structure are independent constituents (similarity with the quasi-chemical formalism) Corrections to the entropy expression taking into account that clusters are not independent (share corners, edges, surfaces…) Example: configurational entropy for FCC lattice in tetrahedron approximation: No LRO: clusters A, A0.75B0.25, A0.5B0.5, A0.25B0.75, B are „end members“ of the phase: Surface of reference is: The ideal configurational entropy for this system is: LFS - CT
Cluster variation method – cont. Typical cluster used in tetrahedron approximation in FCC lattice Saunders N., Miodownik P.: CALPHAD, Pergamon Press, 1998.
Cluster variation method – cont. Typical cluster used in tetrahedron approximation in BCC lattice B. Sundman, J. Lacaze: Intermetallics 2009
Cluster variation method – cont. Example: tetrahedron approximation – cont. Clusters are not independent (share corners…) – it reduces the configurational entropy: The term degSm is due the fact that the 5 clusters above are degenerate cases of the 16 clusters needed to describe LRO (4 different A0.75B0.25, 6 different A0.5B0.5, and 4 different A0.25B0.75 this means adding term LFS .- CT
Cluster variation method – cont. The variable pAA is a pair probability that is equal to the bond fraction in the quasi-chemical-entropy expression. It can be calculated from the cluster fractions as: and the mole fractions from the pair probabilities are: xA= pAA + pAB xB = pBB + pBA LFS - CT
Cluster variation method – cont. LFS - CT
Cluster variation method – cont. • Discussion: - Associate model overestimates the contribution of SRO to the Gibbs energy - The CVM extrapolation gives an unphysical negative entropy at low T - Cluster energies in CVM depend on composition. In CEF - energies are fixedbut the dependence of Gibbs energy on composition is modeled with EG (needs less composition variables than CVM does – see example) Example: CVM tetrahedron model for FCC with 8 elements: at least 84=4096 clusters CEF 4-sublattice requires only 8 x 4 = 32 constituents.

CALPHAD 33 (2009) 244-249 N is total number of atoms, xi, yij, wijkl are cluster probabilities of finding atomic configuration specified by subscript (s) on a point, pair and tetrahedron clusters, respectively, and , distinguish two sublattices in the L10 ordered phase. Entropy is calculated for disordered, S(dis), and ordered: L10, S(L10), phases, kB is Boltzmann constant.

Modeling using sublattices Atoms in crystalline solids – occupy different type of sublattices Sublattices represent LRO – modify entropy and excess Gibbs energy Example: (A,B)m(C,D)n m,n – ratio of sites on the two sublattices (smallest possible integer numbers) A,B,C,D – constituents (in CEF)
Modeling using sublattices – cont. Special cases: stoichiometric phase AmCn Substitutional solution model (A,B)mCn reciprocal solutions (A,B)m(C,D)n
Reciprocal solutions Example: NaCl + KBr = NaBr + KCl Model: (Na,K) (Cl,Br) as (A,B)1(C,D)1 Reciprocal Gibbs energy of reaction: ∆G = oGA:C + oGB:D - oG A:D - oGB:C Entropy: ideal configurational entropy in each sublattice weighted for total entropy with respect to the number of sites on each sublattice (different from the configurational entropy given by substitutional model!): LFS - CT
Reciprocal solutions – cont. PartialGibbsenergycannotbecalculatedforcomponentsbutforendmembersonly LFS - CT
Reciprocal solutions – cont. Excess Gibbs energy: Excess parameters are multiplied with three fractions - two from one sublattice and one from the other. Additionally, reciprocal excess parameter is multiplied by all four fractions having largest influence in the center of the square (A,B,C,D – components, primes – sublattices): Binary L – parameters can be expanded in an Redlich – Kister formula (with concentration dependence – not advisable) LFS - CT
Reciprocal solutions – cont. Surfaceof reference forreciprocalsystem In modelswith more sublattices – major part ofGibbsenergyisdescribed in thesurfaceof reference ! LFS - CT
Reciprocal solutions – cont. Miscibility gap in reciprocalsolution model – inherenttendency to formit in themiddleofthesystem. Sometimesdifficult to suppress. When no data foroneendmemberofreciprocalsystem are available – recommendedassumptionis (e.g. to calculateoGA:C) ∆G = oGA:C + oGB:D - oGA:D - oGB:C = 0 To avoidthemiscibility gap – introductionof (Hillert 1980) EGm = (yAyByCyD)1/2 LA,B:C,D where LA,B:C,D = - ∆G2 / (zRT) , z isthenumberofnearestneighbors (Successfulalsoforcarbidesandnitrides.)
