Abstract

Abstract The relative stabilities of L12, D022, D023 and several one-dimensional (1D) long period structures (LPSs) in the Cu3Pd intermetallic compound are investigated employing the Vienna ab initio simulation package. The energy effects due to the tetragonal distortion of the D022 and D023 structures and other 1D LPSs are small, and those due to the cell internal displacements of the atoms in the LPSs are negligible. With distortion, the structure is found to be the ground state; however, the structures and are rather close in energy to this ground state. The energy results are discussed in the framework of the axial next-nearest-neighbour Ising model. Predictions of the energy differences between series of 1D LPSs and the L12 structure are provided. The (001) antiphase boundary energy is also determined using the same model.
