Abstract

The energetics of mixing in Al–Sn and Sn–Tl-segregating binary alloys has been explained through the study of surface properties (surface concentrations and surface tension) and various concentration-dependent thermodynamic (free energy of mixing, entropy of mixing and enthalpy of mixing) and transport (chemical diffusion) properties as well as the microscopic functions (concentration fluctuations in the long-wavelength limits and chemical short-range order parameter) using a statistical mechanical theory in conjunction with the self-association model (SAM). The theoretical property values obtained by the SAM were compared to the corresponding experimental values available in literature.
