Abstract

The procedure for describing all possible energy states of an alloy based on the concentration wave method proposed by Khachaturian is employed to describe all possible energy states of ordered A 2 BC alloy based on N-dimensional lattice. Within the framework of this method, a complete enumeration of the structures obtained by the superposition of N plane concentration waves with all possible wave vectors is carried out, provided that the given stoichiometry is preserved. For each such superposition, the order parameters on the first I coordination spheres are calculated, thereby determining the point in the I-dimensional order parameter space corresponding to the given structure. For the case of I = 2 it is shown that a complete enumeration of all structures generated by one plane concentration wave fills a non-convex figure in the space of two order parameters.
