Abstract

The relative equilibrium concentrations of lithium atoms distributed over different electron-structural states has been estimated. The possibility of the existence of various nonequilibrium electron-structural states of Li atoms in the solid solution in Al has been substantiated thermodynamically. Upon the decomposition of the supersaturated solid solution, the supersaturation on three electron-structural states of Li atoms that arises upon the quenching of the alloy can lead to the formation of lithium-containing phases in which the lithium atoms enter in one electron-structural state.
