Abstract

Crystal structure of some intermetallic phases is known to be controlled by a number of valence electrons in an alloy. Phase stability was explained by Fermi sphere - Brillouin zone interaction [1-3]. The sequence of electron phases in the Cu-Zn alloy along the valence concentration 1.35 → 1.5 → 1.62 → 1.75 is as follows:

$$ \alpha (fcc) \to \beta (bcc) \to \gamma (complex cubic) \to \varepsilon (hcp). $$
