Towards a systematic description of short range order: Diagonal disorder in a substitutional alloy

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

Typical methods used in the theory of substitutional disorder are single-site approximations like the coherent potential approximation, which cannot properly describe effects of short range order. We propose a new approximation for the configurationally averaged single particle Green's function, which should allow for a systematic description of such effects.

We restrict to diagonal disorder and in particular discuss the electronic properties of a binary single band alloy.
