Thermodynamical Properties of Antiphases in FCC Ordered Alloys

  • A. Finel

Abstract

We discuss the thermodynamical behaviour of APB’s on the FCC lattice. Wetting and layering mechanisms are discussed in relation with pinning effects. We show, in particular, that only high order mean field theories, such as the Cluster Variation Method in the tetrahedron-octahedron approximation, predict the correct thermodynamical properties of surfaces and interfaces on the FCC lattice.
