Abstract: | Relation between X-ray scattering intensities, mean square thermal fluctuations and thermodynamic properties. High temperature X-ray diffraction study of liquid Fe-Ni and Fe-Si alloys using reflection and transmission geometries. Calculation of the structure factor as a function of wave vector. Extrapolation to zero wave vector. Calculation of the concentration-concentration correlation function defined by A. B. Bhatia and D. E. Thorton. Computation of thermodynamic quantities of mixing ΔG, ΔH and ΔS for the binary alloys. Comparison with direct thermodynamic measurements reported in the literature. |
